<p>SPYMAC ROLLS INTO ONLINE SERVICES MARKET WITH WHEEL</p>
<p>New York City, NY (PRWEB) June 22, 2004 -- Spymac Network Inc. announced<br />
today a new Internet service called Wheel. The service will be released at<br />
Macworld Conference & Expo in Boston in July and consists of software and<br />
online services produced in-house by some of the industry's leading<br />
developers. Wheel ships on a single hybrid CD that works on both Mac OS X<br />
and Windows operating systems and is $39 (US) per year.</p>
<p>Reinventing the Wheel</p>
<p>The new service includes a first-class 1 GB e-mail account (with POP3, IMAP<br />
and Web-mail access), iCal and web page hosting and a growing suite of<br />
applications designed to harness the convenience of the Internet. The<br />
package also includes WheelDrive, an online hard drive that integrates<br />
seamlessly into both Mac OS X and Windows desktop environments. WheelDrive<br />
includes 250 MB of online storage and uses synching technology to ensure<br />
fast and easy operation.</p>
<p>"Before Wheel, Mac users had few choices regarding the online service to<br />
use. Wheel offers more than competing services at a dramatically lower<br />
price," said Kevin April, Spymac's Chief Technology Officer. "Since the<br />
service works on Mac OS X and Windows, Wheel is an ideal choice for users<br />
who work with both platforms."</p>
<p>In addition to WheelDrive, the package also ships with WheelGuard, software<br />
that makes backing up to hard drives, CDs, DVDs and WheelDrive hassle-free<br />
and simple. The backup software is currently only available for Mac OS X,<br />
though the Windows version will be released shortly.</p>
<p>An exciting variety of additional Wheel software is under development, and<br />
will be provided to members free of charge upon release. Wheel members will<br />
also receive gifts, discounts and other member specials that add extra<br />
value to the package.</p>
<p>Wheel replaces the former Spymac.NET Pro service. All current subscribers<br />
to Spymac.NET Pro will be upgraded to Wheel free of charge. Pre-orders for<br />
the new service are currently being accepted at a special discounted rate<br />
of $20 (US).</p>
<p>Developing Wheel</p>
<p>Wheel is developed by Spymac's team of established programmers that are<br />
recognized experts in their field. Leading the team are Donald Brown and<br />
Alexander von Below. Brown is a founding partner of CE Software, Inc.<br />
(OTCBB: CESF). He is well-known as the online personality GadgetDon, and<br />
was instrumental in creating such legendary applications as QuicKeys and<br />
QuickMail.</p>
<p>Alexander von Below holds an advanced degree in Computer Science from the<br />
Aachen Institute of Technology (RWTH) and started developing software on<br />
the original Mac OS. He has worked for Silicon Graphics Inc. (NYSE: SGI),<br />
and spent more than ten years developing Macintosh and PC software for<br />
Roxio Inc. (Nasdaq:ROXI).</p>
