Press Release July 25, 2000 Anti Gravity posts new Website! Joe Torre hired! On July 25, 2000 Anti Gravity posted it's new website devoted exclusively to the development of BoXeR systems. The site contains new information about the history of Anti Gravity, the story of the BoXeR, Anti Gravity's effort to purchase Amiga from Gateway and hints of Anti Gravity's future plans. New techinical information outlines design decisions that have been made and decisions currently under discussion. Joe Torre was hired to join the BoXeR development team in bringing the new systems to market. "Now I get to work on the most advanced classic Amiga compatible ever designed by the outside world...an "Ultra-Classic" that will enable genius to florish like the origional did. Tweeking the design and mixing the best of ATX with the best of the Classic, will empower BoXeR owners to be, once again, proud they still use a, now even better, Amiga computer." -Joe Torre Joe Torre: The latter-day Dave Haynie, Joe used to build rockets and robots before Amiga Inc. hired him to build computers. He quickly earned popularity among the Amiga universe, onstage at the various devcons using terms like "novice button" that only an Amiga user would know, buying extra Amigas at shows (and presumably taking them apart immediately upon getting them home), showing off antique 1983 Hi-Toro joysticks, and building weird contraptions for levitating Boing balls. In mid-1998 he left Amiga Inc, when a shift in the company's direction reduced the focus on hardware; today, as Clash Bowley says, he is "actively doing nothing" in the best possible sense of the word. -Moo Bunny Joe's not "actively doing nothing" anymore! Joe will be presenting a working BoXeR motherboard at the AmiWest show in Sacramento, July 29-30, 2000. The motherboard currently runs code but the display has not been finished making it difficult to show anything. Joe will present two separate seminars, the first will be for developers and the second for the public. He will present plenty of useful information.
