FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Mirko Canji SoftwarePlus (817) 566-5565 voice (817) 566-6743 FAX or Design Department Advanced Computing/SoftwarePlus 1-800-ALL-NeXT (US) 1-817-387-NeXT (International) SOFTWARE PLUS ANNOUNCES SHIPPING CONTAINERS FOR WORKSTATIONS AND PERIPHERALS DENTON, Texas -- March 7, 1994. SoftwarePlus announced the design and distribution of A.T.A. (Air Transport Association) approved hard-shell shipping containers for professional workstations and peripherals. All containers designed and sold by SoftwarePlus are manufactured by Keal Cases Inc., the largest manufacturer of shipping and storage containers in the Southwest. These rugged, reusable containers were originally designed for the U.S. Army Tactical Units computer systems, and are now used extensively by the U.S. Army, Air Force, Marines, and other branches of the military for the defense-critical equipment used in field operations. "Some businesses have learned the importance of good equipment protection the hard way..." Mirko Canji, SoftwarePlus' spokeperson said, "...In an attempt to be penny-wise they ended up a "dollar-short" after their equipment failed to boot at showtime! A shipping container for the whole workstation costs about the same as replacing a damaged hard drive." Each shipping container conforms to the A.T.A. Specification 300, Category 1 and pertinent MIL-STD 810 C and D specifications. Following the strict standards of the United States Government, these containers are of superior quality and durability, which makes them perfect for commercial companies or individuals who transport sensitive or valuable equipment.
