<p>Minneapolis - May 3, 1999 -- Power On Software announced today that<br />
it had released Version 2.0.1 of ACTION GoMac, the Macintosh Task<br />
Bar. Since its initial release, GoMac has consistently been at the<br />
very top of downloads by Mac users around the world. Reviewers have<br />
unanimously acclaimed GoMac's ease of use and outstanding aesthetics.<br />
As former Editor-in-Chief of MacUser magazine Steven Bobker sees it,<br />
"I'd be literally lost without GoMac. Windows has exactly one great<br />
feature: its Task Bar. GoMac gives the Mac an even better Task Bar."<br />
As Macworld's June, 1999 issue notes, "GoMac's convenience is hard to<br />
resist." In awarding GoMac a perfect rating, Tom Cheek of Tucows<br />
observed, "This program should be on every Mac user's machine." The<br />
Mac Report agreed, stating that "The best thing to come out of<br />
Windows is the Task Bar along the bottom of the screen. GoMac takes<br />
this rare Microsoft innovation and fine-tunes it for the Macintosh<br />
communityGoMac is far superior to the Finder and much easier on the<br />
sanity."</p>
<p>The new release offers improvements in available memory notification<br />
during application launching under low memory conditions. In<br />
addition, the new version adds drag and drop support for Timbuktu Pro<br />
and provides an improved installer, as well as enhanced support for<br />
various Extension Managers, including Apple's latest version and<br />
Conflict Catcher 8. Moreover, several internal improvements enhance<br />
GoMac's overall performance.</p>
<p>GoMac implements an elegant, highly useful program bar and<br />
customizable start menu on the Mac OS that provides a complete<br />
launching and process management solution. Among its features, GoMac<br />
offers: * One click opening of programs and documents through a<br />
simple Drag and Dock setup</p>
<p>* Instant access to common system settings, file search, memory use,<br />
and recent items</p>
<p>* A Program Bar with one-click process switching and program<br />
minimization. The Program Bar displays all open programs with their<br />
memory usage and allows them to be closed and hidden while in the<br />
background.</p>
<p>* Convenient launch capability from a customizable Start Menu</p>
<p>* Full Drag and Drop support for both the Program Bar and Start Menu</p>
<p>* Mouseless task switching via an elegant Keyboard Switcher</p>
<p>* Ability to access application memory settings from the task bar<br />
contextual menus, in keeping with OS 8.5's enhanced get info feature.</p>
<p>* A tastefully customizable start button for those Mac users who want<br />
to avoid any semblance of Wintel dcor</p>
<p>* Ability to "minimize" background applications to a small icon near the clock</p>
<p>* Option to turn off the Start menu and use only the task bar</p>
<p>* Office 98 integration. Users with Office 98 installed will see a<br />
Microsoft Office 98 item in their Start Menu for easy access to Word,<br />
PowerPoint and Excel.</p>
<p>* Support for Apple's Control Strip technology</p>
<p>* Task bar with integrated clock and perpetual calendar for<br />
instantaneous date reference</p>
<p>ACTION GoMac is available at Macwarehouse, MacZone, Club Mac, and<br />
dealers and distributors worldwide. Electronic versions are also<br />
available from BuyDirect.com and the Power On Software e-commerce<br />
store. ACTION GoMac has a suggested retail price of $49.95 and an<br />
estimated street price, after manufacturer's rebate, of $29.95.<br />
Upgrades are free for owners of version 2. Owners of earlier versions<br />
can obtain special upgrade pricing at the Power On website.</p>
