DssW Releases Power Manager 3

UK, Europe - 1 August 2005 - DssW today released Power Manager 3 for Mac OS
X. Schedule when your Mac starts up, shuts down, sleeps, and wakes.

Two months ago DssW launched Sleep Monitor 2 for Mac OS X and today is
proud to announce an update to the other half of this powerful duo.

Power Manager 3 has been stripped down and built up to focus on the
original intent of the product: the ability to start up and shut down your
Mac to a schedule.

Version 3 is the first version on Mac OS X and it as been a long time
coming! Power Manager arrives on Mac OS X in style. A single friendly
System Preference that offers administrator only control and plays nicely
with other power scheduling system software.

Since 1997 Power Manager has found a home in numerous museums, offices, and
schools. We have been surprised and delighted to have our users adopt Power
Manager in some of the strangest uses. Although probably not so surprising
for such a specific tool.

A medical group used scheduled start up and shut down events to rapidly
cycle the power circuit hundreds of times on new Macs before deployment: a
great check for hardware failures.

Most users though are far more reasonable towards their Macs and desire
what we all want: to save money and time. Power Manager is most often used
to ensure Macs are switched off at night and on in the morning.

Art galleries and museums with Macs dotted around installations find the
easy automation particularly useful.

Pricing and Availability

Power Manager is available today through the DssW web site
(http://www.dssw.co.uk/powermanager/) for EUR20. System requirements are
Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther), Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or later.
