This week, Beehive Software has released their version 4.0 BeeMail
extension, for Macintosh (and Windows), which now allows ANY email

Inc. announces that it will be showing its new GuitarPlug and MicPlug
plug-in form factor USB audio converters at its booth #1017 at Macworld
Conference & Expo, January 11-14, 2005.
"With more people using recording software, like Apple's GarageBand or
Logic, to build music tracks at home, we realized that an entirely new
approach was called for to connect instruments and microphones to the
computer, something much smaller and simpler than anything else that's
available," said C.J. Sorg, Manager, Music Products for DVForge, Inc.
"Our patent-pending approach to creating small, but high quality
digital interface products has resulted in the GuitarPlug and the
MicPlug, for connecting an electric guitar or dynamic microphone,
respectively, to any modern computer using a simple USB cable."
Both GuitarPlug and MicPlug are cylindrical, 2.3" by .7" in size, are

MacMice Announces ZeroSticks Companion Speaker System For The iMac G5
Hendersonville, TN - January 7, 2005 - MacMice, a divison of DVForge,
Inc. announces that it will be showing its new ZeroSticks companion
speaker system for the iMac G5 at its booth #1017 at Macworld
Conference & Expo, January 11-14, 2005.
"We are excited about the way Apple's incredible iMac G5 was designed
to take up nearly zero desk space. But, as soon as we started looking
for normal accessories for the iMac, we realized that nobody else had
been thinking along this zero-footprint track. All of the normal
accessories took away from the elegance of the iMac G5, especially,
loudspeaker systems," said DVForge, Inc. CEO, Jack Campbell. "The
ZeroSticks is perhaps the most clever and exciting product we have ever
designed. In addition to being a terrific set of powered speakers, the
ZeroSticks actually takes up zero desk space; it doesn't even require a
power cord. We think that anybody who owns a 17- or 20-inch...

loudspeaker system at its booth #1017 at Macworld Conference & Expo,
January 11-14, 2005.
"We have watched as more people have made their computer their primary
music listening location. And, we realized that there really were not
any great options in affordable, high-fidelity loudspeakers for these
music lovers," said C.J. Sorg, Manager, Music Products for DVForge,
Inc. "The ProSticks is the first product we are announcing in an
entirely new category of hi-fi desktop loudspeakers. And, we think that
this is the best desktop speaker system ever brought to market at under
$1000."
ProSticks is a 2.1 system with two small satellite enclosures and a
subwoofer enclosure, all with perforated Aluminum grills. The system is
international power compatible and ships with both 120VAC and 230VAC...

Inc. announces that it will be showing its new PortBuddy port relocator
product at its booth #1017 at Macworld Conference & Expo, January
11-14, 2005.
"When we first started using the amazing new Apple iMac G5, one of the
few frustrations we encountered was the inconvenient location of the
rear-side mounted ports, especially the frequently used Firewire and
USB ports. PortBuddy is our simple little solution to that challenge,"
said DVForge Executive Vice President, Chuck Leonard. "The PortBuddy
just snaps onto the back of the new iMac, and moves a USB and a
Firewire port to the right-hand edge of the computer. Another matching
pair of ports is turned to the inside, for more permanent connections.
But, while thinking about this product, we realized it presented a
chance to solve another challenge. So, we added a 13-way memory card
drive that uses just one...

Micromat Announces DiskStudio
Micromat Announces DiskStudio(TM)
SANTA ROSA, CA - January 6, 2005 - Micromat Incorporated, makers of the
TechTool Pro disk repair utility for Macintosh, have announced a new hard
disk utility titled DiskStudio.

great to have the freedom DiskStudio gives me to change the architecture of
my hard drives." And from Joe Bailey, "A really slick, and quick, way to add

Inc. announces that it will be showing its new The Ball Bluetooth
wireless trackball at its booth #1017 at Macworld Conference & Expo,
January 11-14, 2005.
"As a pioneer in Bluetooth wireless input devices, we have been looking
at the idea of a Bluetooth wireless trackball for almost two-years.
But, we wanted to bring this idea to market in a product that didn't
simply add wireless capability to the same old trackball concept that
our competitors have been marketing," said DVForge, Inc. CEO Jack
Campbell. "Trackballs have been a slow-selling niche product, despite
some great benefits of the basic idea. Existing trackballs are huge,
complex devices that most buyers choose to not use. The Ball challenges
the status quo by being small, elegant, simple, and appealing to an
entirely new group of potential buyers."
The Ball follows the same clear over white...
