Magazine, Macsimum News, & PowerPage Awards

January 19, 2007, Woodstock, IL -- Other World Computing (OWC)
http://www.macsales.com, a leading Mac and PC technology company,
announced today that it has won 3 Best of Show Awards at Macworld
Expo 2007, held last week in San Francisco. OWC won the awards for
its newly introduced ModBook, the first fully functional,
consumer-ready OS X Mac-based tablet solution.

ModBook Wins Best of Show Awards

Macworld Expo judges and Macworld Magazine editors selected ModBook
from hundreds of exhibitors at Macworld for a Macworld "Best of Show"
Award because they felt the product highlighted the commitment
Macintosh developers have for the platform. "Using a standard version
of OS X and its included Inkwell handwriting recognition software,
the ModBook is an impressive piece of engineering," said Rob
Griffiths, Senior Editor, Macworld Magazine.

ModBook was also awarded with the 2007 Macsimum Best of Show Award by
Macsimum News, a top-rated Apple, Mac, and iPod online news site. OWC
won the award for having one of the most interesting, coolest
hardware products shown at Macworld 2007.

OWC was also awarded the PowerPage "Best of Show Award" for ModBook
by mobile technology site PowerPage.org, who called the ModBook, "The
Coolest Piece of Hardware at the show."

About Modbook - The Ultimate On-the-Go Companion

Announced at Macworld January 2007, ModBook is an after-market
enhancement of the Apple MacBook notebook computer, adding true pen
input, a new "anyview" 13.3" wide screen LCD and an optional Global
Positioning System in a rugged, satin chrome plated magnesium top
shell, while keeping all the powerful features of the MacBook base
system. The ultimate on-the-go companion, the ModBook is perfect for
sales professionals, road warriors, artists, students, and mobile
users.

With the award winning Mac OS X and its built-in Inkwell handwriting
recognition, up to 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the integrated

time starting at $2,199, which includes the cost of the Apple
MacBook, and is available for pre-order at www.macsales.com/ModBook.
