<p>Connectix Announces DoubleTalk</p>
<p>Access Windows Networks from Your Mac</p>
<p>SAN MATEO, Calif.- January 9, 2001 - Connectix Corporation, makers of the<br />
best-selling and award-winning Virtual PC family of products, today<br />
announced Connectix DoubleTalk, a software application for the Macintosh<br />
that allows users to access Windows networks from their Mac. This new<br />
product is designed for the Mac user who has little or no Windows<br />
knowledge, but needs to share resources, such as file servers or printers,<br />
on a Windows based network.</p>
<p>DoubleTalk does the impossible, it gives Mac users access to Windows<br />
networks, said Mitchell Cipriano, Connectix vice president of marketing,<br />
Because it is so easy to use, DoubleTalk actually makes a Mac a better<br />
Windows client than a PC.</p>
<p>DoubleTalk Features<br />
Access Windows-Based Network Resources - Access Windows fileservers,<br />
transfer files to and from shared Windows workstations over the network and<br />
print to shared PC-based PostScript printers.</p>
<p>Quick Mac-like Setup - DoubleTalk is designed for Mac users and assumes no<br />
PC networking knowledge. The DoubleTalk Setup Assistant makes configuration<br />
quick and easy in the familiar Mac environment. It automatically configures<br />
its network settings, then DoubleTalk allows easy access to network<br />
resources through the tools Mac users already know, such as the Chooser.</p>
<p>Create Peer-to-Peer Networks with PCs - DoubleTalk makes it easy for Mac<br />
users and Windows users to create peer-to-peer workgroups to transfer files<br />
and share printers, making DoubleTalk an ideal SOHO solution.</p>
<p>Enhanced Printing - DoubleTalk provides an enhanced print queue with more<br />
detailed printer and print information. Additionally, DoubleTalk increases<br />
performance of Mac laser printers - by using the DoubleTalk print<br />
mechanism, printing will be up to 50% faster than when using the Mac OS<br />
alone.</p>
<p>System Requirements</p>
<p> Macintosh PowerPC, G3 or G4<br />
Mac OS 8.1 or later<br />
24MB of RAM required, 5 MB of disk space<br />
AppleTalk enabled<br />
AppleShare Client required for Mac OS 8.1<br />
CD-ROM Drive</p>
<p>Price and Availability<br />

Connectix online store (<a href="http://www.connectix.com" title="www.connectix.com">www.connectix.com</a>) and will be widely available at<br />
retail stores, mail order catalogs, and online stores where Macintosh<br />
products are sold.</p>
<p>Connectix Corporation<br />
Founded in 1988 and based in San Mateo, California, Connectix is a leader<br />
in high-performance compatibility software, originally entering the market<br />

Mac. The ever-popular RAM Doubler and Speed Doubler products were then<br />
launched in 1994 and 1995, respectively. Today the company develops<br />
innovative and award-winning products that break the natural boundaries<br />

demands of an emerging multi-platform, internet-driven business<br />
