TEAM AMIGA USER APPLICATION Modified: March 8, 1998 ********** NOTE EMAIL ADDRESS CHANGE ********** As many of you know, Gateway 2000 has purchased all rights and technology to the Amiga computer! Gateway 2000 has also established Amiga International, Inc. as the worldwide sales organization with Petro Tyschtschenko as President. Team AMIGA is excited by these developments and feels that the time is close for us to realize Rick Lembree's dream of offering our assistance to Amiga International and Gateway 2000 as their "official" Amiga Worldwide User Group! There is currently no one group that represents so many Amiga users worldwide and we encourage others to join us now! SIGN UP NOW! HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE! In the FidoNet AMIGA echo, we started our own "kick in the pants" response to IBM's TEAM OS/2. It has taken off like wildfire! We'd like to extend an invitation to every Amiga devotee, everywhere! We have over 2500 members from countries worldwide ... from Fido, Usenet, the on-line services, nets and bbs's all over the world. Some of our members do not have Internet/Fido access, but STILL they support the Amiga in their local User Groups and on their local bbs! Hundreds of User Groups, Amiga authors and Amiga companies worldwide have registered with us to further enhance the support we offer Gateway 2000 and Petro Tyschtschenko! You will find Team AMIGA logo's and links on many World Wide Web pages! We encourage others to do the same! It's FREE! There are NO dues! There are NO rules! There are only three officers (Gary Peake-Coordinator, Gary Caine-Asst. Coordinator, Asha Develder-Asst. Coordinator)! We are are a worldwide group of Amiga enthusiasts who are willing to support the user base, third party Amiga developers, commercial Amiga companies, pd/shareware/commercial Amiga programmers, and, of course, the Amiga's parent companies, Gateway 2000 and Amiga International Inc.! We do this by paying our registrations and by buying Amiga every chance we get! As a group, we enjoy our Amiga's and use them in every facet of computing from casual home use to commercial applications. Many of our members are the programmers who have kept the platform alive while waiting for something GOOD to happen for the Amiga! To join, all you have to do is: 1) Be an Amiga enthusiast willing to talk about the virtues of the Amiga computer whenever possible to those who are interested in computers. 2) If you decide to join, fill out the application below and send it to me so I can add your information to our growing database. This database is being kept by me and has been forwarded to Amiga International,Inc. (Petro) in hopes that they will decide to pick up the ball and run with it. This database may also be shared with Amiga support companies so that they have an up to date listing of Amiga users worldwide. This means you may get commercial solicitations from AMIGA companies offering specials or new product listings! One objective of Team AMIGA, of course, is to get as many Amiga enthusiasts worldwide to make a statement of support, but another objective, is to show Amiga International, Inc. how much of a mistake it would be to not adequately support Amiga computer users and third party companies worldwide, especially in the production of desktop Amigas. 3) Always acknowledge that Rick Lembree was the one who started all this! Without Rick's solid dedication, enthusiasm, and determination to make Team AMIGA happen, none of this would have been possible. We miss you Rick! 4) Know and understand that your stats will be in a database kept by me (Gary Peake) and not released to anyone without general consensus of the members (except as noted). Team AMIGA reserves the right to release this database to any AMIGA related company for the purpose of contacting Team AMIGA members with specials on hardware, software or other computer related products. 5)Team AMIGA understands that due to company policy or other work related issues, it may NOT be possible for every member to display "Team AMIGA" in his or her online signature and/or to constantly be extolling the virtues of the Amiga computer. Some of our most ardent supporters are in this predicament and Team AMIGA welcomes them as HONORARY MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING and will continue to seek their advice and consent on the directions Team AMIGA should take to enhance the future of our platform. These members stats may, at their request, be kept confidential. 6)The only other thing we ask of you, is IF you use "Team AMIGA" in your online signature, that you type it exactly as shown below: Team AMIGA The reason is for consistency, and for recognition. The official name is: "Team AMIGA Worldwide". Please note that because of the many fluent graphic artists we have in our membership, Team Amiga is always willing to accept new logos, designs, and artwork (as long as they are AMIGA related) for inclusion in our pages and/or sigs.
