Power On Allows Users to Rewind(tm) to Happier Time

Rewind Protects Against Catastrophes, Disasters, and Mistakes
In a Bind? Just Rewind! (sm)

Columbus, Ohio - July 12, 2000 - Power On Software announced today the
development of Rewind, an 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.

Rewind is scheduled to make its world debut at Macworld Expo in New York
City on July 19th. Power On Software, will be providing hands-on
demonstrations of the new software, in Booth #749 at the Jacob Javits
Center. Visitors can stop by and see how 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 a file
* Accidentally deleting a file
* New application software prevents the computer from booting
*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
* Installation of new System software prevents the computer from operating
properly
* Important data has been lost due to corruption or other means and no
backup exists
* 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, systems, or even 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 the entire System Folder!

Rewind is a technological tour de force combined with an elegant and
familiar interface. As Jorg Brown, the renowned lead engineer of RAM
Doubler remarked, "Rewind is an even more amazing technological achievement
than RAM Doubler was. Clicking the Rewind button virtually repeals Murphy's
Law!"

Power On Software President John Wallace observed: "Rewind eliminates that
'uh-oh' moment that happens all too frequently. That sinking feeling in the
pit of your stomach, when your professional life flashes before your eyes,
has stricken terror into all of us at one time or another. Now, if that
happens, you can just Rewind to a happier time and successfully complete
the task at hand. Best of all, Rewind is completely transparent, working
unobtrusively in the background. We hope users never need to Rewind, but
when something does go wrong, they will be very glad Rewind was there to
protect them."

Pricing and availability will be announced at Macworld Expo. Further
information, including a white paper on Rewind will be posted on the Power
