<p>LaCie Offers Complete Burning Solution<br />
With LightScribe Labeling For Any Operating System</p>
<p>- Burn professional looking discs with LaCie LightScribe drives<br />
- Free LightScribe Labeler for Mac and Linux<br />
- First-ever LightScribe support for K3b<br />
- Mac software supports printing to multiple drives</p>
<p>PORTLAND, OR (October 2006) -- LaCie today announced it is the first to<br />
offer a complete burning and LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling solution for<br />
all operating systems. This includes the first-ever LightScribe Labeler<br />
software for Linux, a new version of LightScribe Labeler software for Mac,<br />
and SureThing LightScribe Labeler for Windows.</p>
<p>Innovative LightScribe technology enables consumers and businesses to burn<br />
silk screen-quality labels on to LightScribe-enabled CDs or DVDs right in<br />
the drive--no printing supplies are required. LaCie's LightScribe Labeler<br />
for Linux offers direct-to-disc label burning for projects burned with K3b.<br />
New Mac software is Universal and supports simultaneous printing to<br />
multiple drives. Free software downloads for Mac and Linux are available at<br />
<a href="http://www.lacie.com/lightscribe" title="www.lacie.com/lightscribe">www.lacie.com/lightscribe</a> for anyone with a LightScribe-enabled drive.*</p>
<p>LaCie Product Manager Anne Bordet said, "We're the first company to offer<br />
an all-in-one data writing and LightScribe labeling solution for all<br />
operating systems. LaCie was first to ship a LightScribe-enabled CD/DVD<br />
drive for the Mac, and now our user-friendly LightScribe labeling software<br />
is available for free to Mac and Linux users with LightScribe-enabled<br />
drives. With LaCie's complete burning solution, people can easily and<br />
simply create professional looking CDs and DVDs on Mac, Linux or Windows."</p>
<p>LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux is simple and intuitive, allowing users<br />
to burn customized images on to LightScribe discs in three easy steps:<br />
see that LaCie is developing tools for Linux users, and are pleased to work<br />
with them to make it happen. With the LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux,<br />
K3b users now have access to the latest disc-labeling technology from<br />
LightScribe, and a complete burning solution thanks to LaCie."</p>
<p>LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Mac supports printing the same project on<br />
multiple drives simultaneously. Multi-drive printing is quicker and costs<br />
less than third-party DVD duplication services. Daisy-chain up to 999 units<br />
together to create a duplicator-like effect and print hundreds of<br />
professional-looking discs for events, business meetings, key customers and<br />
more. LaCie LightScribe Labeler is designed to reduce CPU usage so the<br />
owner can continue working on other jobs while printing completes.</p>
<p>"LightScribe is pleased to continue to work with LaCie to change the way<br />
consumers and businesses burn and label their CDs and DVDs," said Kent<br />
Henscheid, LightScribe Marketing Manager. "With these new solutions, now<br />
customers with any operating system create great-looking disc labels<br />
anytime, anywhere."</p>
