FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Petro Tyschtschenko Spoke To Saku 99 Audience Via Telephone
ESPOO, FINLAND - September 5, 1999 - The biggest Amiga event in Finland,
Saku 99, was held yesterday and turned out to be success, even though
Petro
Tyschtschenko of Amiga had cancelled his visit a couple of days earlier.
The show was visited by approximately 400-600 people during the day.
Although Mr. Tyschtschenko couldn't attend in person, he spoke briefly
at
the show via telephone. He apologized for not coming and asked the
audience
not to panic. Mr. Tyschtschenko also said that he is not going to be
fired
and that he will meet with the new President shortly. AmigaOS 3.5 will
be
released by the end of September and the MCC is still on track, although
it
could be delayed a bit. He also mentioned the up-coming Cologne show and
hoped too see some of the audience there. The speech will soon be
available
in MP3 format.
Saku 99 was organized and sponsored by the Finnish Amiga Users Group.
The
show was also generously supported by Amiga, who donated two Amiga
A1200's
for a raffle and gave away literally dozens of AmiColas, Amiga Theme
CDs,
card games, mouses, mouse pads, socks, pens and other promotional items.
Haage & Partner, in co-operation with Amiga, provided an AmigaOS 3.5 pre
release for demonstration.
Warm thanks also to the Finnish exhibitors Amigator, Gentle Eye Ky,
Elysee
Arena and Petsoff LP for making Saku 99 a truly memorable event. In
addition to the companies mentioned above, special thanks to Broadline
Oy,
ClickBOOM, Digital Dreams Entertainment, Toysoft and Tsunami Trading for
supporting the user group with prize donations and product samples, some
of
which were given away at the Saku 99.
Above all, the Finnish Amiga Users Group would like to thank the hard
working Amiga users who have volunteered their time, passion, talent and
even financial support for making this spectacular event happen. A list
of
these individuals will be published in the next Saku e-zine. There could
never have been an event like Saku 99 without the tremendeous support of
the Finnish Amiga community.
