Rewind™ Winds Its Way to Top Honors with Macworld Best of Show Win

Rewind Protects Against Disasters and Mistakes

In a Bind? Just Rewind! (SM)

Columbus, Ohio — August 22, 2000 — Rewind™, Power On Software's
incredible safety-net utility that made its debut at Macworld Expo in New
York, was selected as Best of Show in the software category. A panel of
experts from Macweek.com awarded the coveted honor to Power On Software for
its amazing and innovative software technology breakthrough. Rewind
protects against catastrophes, disasters, and user error that can spell the
difference between success or failure, and adulation or humiliation.

Rewind, based on several new patent-pending technologies, gets users out
of a bind by permitting them to merely click the program's Rewind button.
The software then magically transports the user back to the instant
before the problem occurred.

"What if you had two versions of a spreadsheet and saved the wrong one?
Or if you accidentially deleted the perfect picture of your kids? Or
wrote over your Masters Thesis and didn't realize it until a week later?
Wouldn't you want a one-button way to fix it? A way to go back in time?
It's simple. Just Rewind," said Power On President John Wallace.

"The excitement generated by Apple's product announcements at Macworld
means that there will be many more opportunities for excellent
software titles on the Macintosh," said Clent Richardson, Apple Vice
President of Worldwide Developer Relations. "Power On Software products
are world class examples of ingenuity and excellence and we congratulate
them on winning the Best of Show award for Rewind."

Rewind can reverse even the bleakest-looking situations and rescue users
from potential tragedy. Using Rewind merely requires the user to click on
the Rewind button. The program then permits the user to return to the
moment just before disaster struck. Typical situations where Rewind can
come to the rescue include:

* Accidentally overwriting or deleting a file
* Important data has been lost and no backup exists
* A virus has infected the entire machine and the virus was so new that
no anti-virus software even knew how to detect it, let alone disinfect it
* New application software conflicts prevent the computer from booting
* System files have become damaged, the computer won't start up, and the
user doesn't have a System disk
* Virtually any other situation where the computer software had been
operating normally until the fateful moment

Rewind's patent-pending technology remembers ALL the data that has been
modified on a user's disks, allowing users to return to previous versions
of documents, applications, or entire disks, with a single click on the
Rewind button. And Rewind's breakthrough (and also patent-pending)
Emergency Startup Mode allows users to reboot from their hard disk even
if they have deleted or damaged the entire System Folder!

Rewind is a technological tour de force combined with an elegant and
familiar interface. A simple on-screen calendar permits users to travel
back in time by pointing and clicking at a date and time. Rewind is
completely transparent, working unobtrusively in the background.

The suggested retail price of Rewind is $99.95. The product will begin
shipping in the fourth quarter of this year, and will be distributed by
Ingram Micro and available from fine resellers everywhere.
