<p>Press Release:</p>
<p>For Immediate Release</p>
<p>Contour Introduces the UniTrap(TM)</p>
<p>Salem, New Hampshire, May 20,1999- Contour Design, makers of the<br />
popular UniMouse, today announced a revolutionary add-on enhancement<br />
to the iMac and G3 round mouse.</p>
<p>The UniTrap transforms your iMac or G3 mouse to a sleek, comfortable,<br />
full-sized mouse. It is a three piece snap-on design consisting of<br />
one top shell, one bottom shell, and five tasty flavored<br />
interchangeable buttons all in one pack-age. It completely encloses<br />
the round mouse to give the user maximum com-fort and control. In<br />
addition, the larger contoured button provides easier clicking.</p>
<p>"One Advantage of the UniTrap is that it does not add additional<br />
width to the already wide 3" diameter of the round mouse," said<br />
Timothy Donaghy, Director of Marketing for Contour Design, Inc. "The<br />
UniTrap design allows the user to remove the sides of the round mouse<br />
to minimize the width, prior to placing it into the bottom shell. One<br />
piece slip-on shells currently on the market add up to an additional<br />
quarter inch to an already wide mouse. We feel many users will find<br />
3.25" is too wide for good comfort and control. For example the<br />
standard Apple ADB mouse is only 2.5" at its widest point. Another<br />
benefit of the UniTrap is that it allows the user to keep the<br />
state-of-the-art mouse mechanism and top of the line switches that<br />
Apple uses in their round mouse."</p>
<p>In March Contour Design responded to the growing demand for a better<br />
fitting USB mouse by introducing the UniMouse, in five colors.(Fully<br />
programmable three button mouse, with AutoScroll and Application<br />
Specific Settings.) Now Contour Design is proud to present a lower<br />
cost solution for iMac and G3 users who simply want a better one<br />
button mouse.</p>
<p>About Contour's UniTrap<br />
Contour Design's UniTrap is the first slip-on enhancement for the<br />
round mouse that not only gives the user no additional width, but<br />
also gives you a "Universal' palm Support without sacrificing color.<br />
"It is versatile and simply comfortable. The shape gives you many of<br />
the benefits of our UniMouse and Perfit Mouse, but at a budget<br />
price," says Steve Wang, CEO and President of Contour Design, Inc.<br />
