1. AMIGA, Inc. erhält Verwaltungsratsvorsitzenden (Chairman) [englisch]

Vorab zur Klarheit: Bei amerikanischen Unternehmen ist der »Chairman« der
Vorsitzende des »Board of Directors«, einer Art Verwaltungsrat, der von den
Unternehmensgesellschaftern gewählt wird und die grundlegende
Firmenpolitik festlegt sowie die »Executive Officers«, die für das
Tagesgeschäft zuständig sind, ernennt. Damit hat der Chairman - zumindest
formal - einen größeren Einfluss als beispielsweise der CEO (Chief
Executive Officer) eines Unternehmens. Wie sich die Zusammenarbeit zwischen
Frank Wilde und Bill McEwen konkret gestaltet, wird sich in den nächsten
Monaten zeigen müssen.

»       Amiga board elects Frank Wilde as Chairman of the Board

 Wilde brings 18 years of experience in the personal computer industry to
                        Amiga's Board of Directors

(December 6, 2001) The Board of Directors for Amiga Inc. have elected Frank
Wilde as its new Chairman of the Board.

Mr. Wilde will bring his many years of experience and leadership to Amiga
to help expand its business into new markets while releasing new products.

Mr. Wilde joins Amiga from Ravisent Technologies where he was President and

organizations that enable individuals and teams to grow and develop their
professional capabilities in such a way that shareholder value is
maximized. Wilde was instrumental in the planning and execution of the
company's transition from a hardware company to a software Intellectual
Property licensing company. Under his leadership, RAVISENT was able to
raise $18 million in private funding in June of 1998. Wilde also led the
company through the IPO process, taking the company public in July of
1999, raising $61.4 million.   RAVISENT's flagship product family,
CinePlayer, offers consumers a single look-and-feel PC solution for

CD Audio, MPEG audio, MPEG video, DVD, Dolby Digital audio, MP3 audio,
LPCM audio, digital television (DTV), analog (traditional) television,
high definition television (HDTV), and "time-shifted" television
broadcasts (so-called digital video recorder files or DVR).

``I had many choices on where I wanted to go next and where the best
opportunity for the future was.  Bill McEwen and I had been speaking for
many months on business plans and other issues, and after meeting with the
team, and viewing the technology and their partners, there was no better
choice for me than joining Amiga" said Frank Wilde, Chairman of Amiga,
Inc. "The Amiga has an amazing past and is well known at Ravisent, but
seeing what I have seen of the technology, they have even a brighter
future, and I am pleased to be here".

"Frank brings a level of expertise and knowledge that is second to none.
His level of excitement and dedication to Amiga, will be seen shortly as
we continue to build and release new products" said Bill McEwen, President
and CEO of Amiga, Inc.   "I look forward to working with Frank, and the two
of us working with the community and our partners on building a very solid
future".

Over the years, Wilde and RAVISENT received recognition from numerous
business and technology organizations. Most recently, RAVISENT was
recognized as the #7 in the 2000 Deloitte & Touche Fast 50 - Fastest
