  239. New Shopping Basket Rivals the Fastest Ones on the Net<br />
  240. Depot Announces New Expanded Hours for Live Customer Service</p>
  241. <p>WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., May 4, 1999 -- DevDepot, the leading<br />
  242. direct marketer of over 1000 Mac OS developer, web content<br />
  243. developing, and system development tools, today announced its first<br />
  244. quarter results. First quarter 1999 net sales grew 45% compared to<br />
  245. the first quarter of 1998. Quantity of orders processed for the same<br />
  246. period was up 52% compared to the first quarter of 1998. This<br />
  247. quarter, the Depot introduced a new shopping basket which rivals the<br />
  248. fastest ones on the net.</p>
  249. <p>Neil Ticktin, CEO of DevDepot's parent company Xplain<br />
  250. Corporation, stated, "I am very pleased with our results for the<br />
  251. quarter. Our plan to give Mac OS developers the best selection of<br />
  252. tools, at the best prices and with the service they deserve, is<br />
  253. working. During this quarter, we launched our fourth generation<br />
  254. online shopping basket which rivals the fastest sites on the net. The<br />
  255. new online store allows users to track orders, see up to the minute<br />
  256. inventory status, and search and compare over a thousand products to<br />
  257. find exactly the tool they need. Our goal has been to be *the* source<br />
  258. of Mac OS developer tools in a customer focused, quality of service<br />
  259. environment -- we've done that."</p>
  260. <p>First Quarter Highlights</p>
  261. <p>When compared to the first quarter of 1998, the first quarter of<br />
  262. 1999's sales revenue grew 45%. In addition, the quantity of orders<br />
  263. increased by 52% during the same period. DevDepot's management<br />
  264. attributes the increase to the returning health of the Mac OS market,<br />
  265. decreases in pricing of developer tools, and an increase in the<br />
  266. number of products available.</p>
  267. <p>In February, 1999, the Depot began public testing of new online<br />
  268. shopping basket software and servers. The response to the new Depot<br />
  269. Online Store has been overwhelming -- especially in regards to<br />
  270. comments on the speed of the system. The system completed testing and<br />
  271. was released in April.</p>
  272. <p>This fourth generation Depot Online Store dynamically links<br />
  273. inventory, order processing, shipping, and product acquisition<br />
  274. systems into a single, fully integrated electronic store. Featuring<br />
  275. state of the art proprietary technology, the new store allows<br />
  276. customers to scan thousands of developer tools, compare and explore<br />
  277. the features of each, and find exactly the right solution for them.</p>
  278. <p>"Developers work long hours, when they need tools, they need them<br />
  279. immediately," Neil Ticktin said, "with the Depot's new online store,<br />
  280. developers have one place to go to find the tool they need, and order<br />
  281. it any time of day or night." Customers have one place to find all<br />
  282. the tools they need, they can see if the tools are in stock, and if<br />
  283. not, when they are expected. Once an order is placed, customers can<br />
  284. track that order, any time of night or day, until it arrives at their<br />
  285. front door.</p>
  286. <p>DevDepot, part of the Depot group, is also announcing new<br />
  287. expanded service hours. Starting May 3rd, customer service<br />
  288. representatives will be answering phones from 7am to 7pm Pacific<br />
  289. Time, ready to help callers find exactly the tool for their needs.<br />
  290. The Depot's staff has always prided itself on providing some of the<br />
  291. best customer service in the business -- and now they can serve<br />
  292. customers at times that may be more convenient for some people.</p>
