Something of interest to all invesotrs here is a great PR for a good undervalued internet company: ACTIVEWORLDS.COM CREATES EUROPEAN ALLIANCE WITH FUJITSU LTD. SUBSIDIARY, AMDAHL RESOURCES NEWBURYPORT, Mass. - March 10, 1999 -- Activeworlds.com, Inc. (OTC BB: AWLD) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Amdahl Resources Internet (ARI), a division of Fujitsu Limited (FJTSF) and a leading global IT consultant corporation with over 8000 consultants. Amdahl Resources will represent Activeworlds.com and its Internet products, primarily Active Worlds, in the European marketplace. This alliance will give Activeworlds.com a solid European base of operations that will help promote its Internet product line throughout the European marketplace as well as reinforces the ARI presence at the forefront of the Internet technology marketplace. “This new department is concentrating on Internet solutions, encompassing the entire range from e-commerce, legacy system interfaces, through to future technologies, such as 3D and similar systems,” said Mike Beale, Internet Services Manager of ARI. “We see a possible partnership here, that as a result of Activeworlds.com, we as a company would get a name and a presence in this emerging industry.” “ARI is proud to be seen as an alliance partner with the leading 3D, multi-user, interactive technology on the web,” said Graham Evans of ARI. “We see the future of the Internet in 3D, and it is no longer a case that 3D is nice to have, rather it is now seen as what people expect, and Activeworlds is the best technology available.” “This expansion into the European Marketplace with ARI greatly solidifies our global market,” said JP McCormick, Chairman of Activeworlds.com. “Alliances with companies like Amdahl allow Activeworlds.com to rapidly become the standard of 3D VR on the Internet. By offering our technology, Activeworlds.com gains worldwide representation and ARI truly moves to the cutting edge of a burgeoning worldwide market.”
