today announced the sale of DragStrip(r), its award winning desktop utility<br />
for the Macintosh. This action reflects Natural Intelligence's focus on the<br />
expansion of its core custom software consulting business, and its newly<br />
formed Corporate Java Division. DragStrip will be acquired by Christopher<br />
Evans, the original creator of the product, who will upgrade, support and<br />
distribute the product as a shareware product.</p>
<p>"We have a very mixed feeling about this spin-off," said Joshua Wachs,<br />
President and CEO of Natural Intelligence. "DragStrip was one of the first<br />
products we developed, and its international success in the Macintosh<br />
community was a wonderful affirmation of Natural Intelligence's innovative<br />
technology. But since we don't have time for development or support, we owe<br />
it to our loyal and enthusiastic customers to continue to keep the product<br />
alive. We are absolutely confident that Chris' development and support will<br />
exceed customer expectations. Natural Intelligence will, of course,<br />
continue to provide Macintosh consulting services - for which we are<br />
famous; however, the success of our recent strategy to expand our Java<br />
services as well as consulting services for Windows clearly defined the<br />
company's direction.</p>
<p>While at Natural Intelligence, Evans was the author of QuickCode Pro(r) and<br />
a member of the Roaster Development team, but DragStrip was a personal<br />
favorite. "DragStrip has always been a huge personal investment for me,"<br />
said Evans, who has formed his own company, Poppybank Software. "When I<br />
started to get ideas about improving on the 2.0 version, I knew I wanted to<br />
distribute it to a wide audience. Since Natural Intelligence was at a point<br />
where they were focusing on their core consulting business, it was the<br />
perfect time to talk about a shareware scenario. I think the users are<br />
going to be very happy with version 3.0"</p>
<p>DragStrip 3.0 will be available for $20.00 and can be downloaded from<br />
Poppybank Software's web site at <a href="http://www.poppybank.com/DragStrip/" title="http://www.poppybank.com/DragStrip/">http://www.poppybank.com/DragStrip/</a>.</p>
<p>DragStrip 3.0's new features include the ability to have multiple tabbed<br />
pages on a strip, improved support for MacOS 8, including contextual menus,<br />
new "Strip" styles, easier configuration, support for URLs and more. Users<br />
of the shareware version can register it through the Kagi shareware<br />
registration service at <a href="http://orders.kagi.com/?3R8" title="http://orders.kagi.com/?3R8">http://orders.kagi.com/?3R8</a>.</p>
