released today and adds performance, scheduling and power management to its<br />
five-mouse-rated functionality. UpdateAgent brings all Macintosh<br />
applications up-to-date-including traditional Mac Classic applications,<br />
Classic apps carbonized for Mac OS X, and Cocoa applications written<br />
specifically for Mac OS X systems.</p>
<p>"UpdateAgent is the surest, simplest way to keep your Mac up-to-date,"<br />
commented Rio Sabadicci, president of Insider Software. "This release makes<br />
it even simpler-almost automatic-for users to stay current with the latest<br />
technology from over 2,000 developers."</p>
<p>SCANS FOR OUTDATED SOFTWARE FASTER<br />
The new version of UpdateAgent scans a Macintosh hard disk for outdated<br />
applications 30% faster under both Mac OS9 and OS X. It accomplishes this<br />
with more efficient scanning code as well as smarter treatment of system<br />
files and directories.</p>
<p>CONVENIENT SCHEDULING AND POWER MANAGEMENT CONTROLS<br />
Users running Mac OS 9 and OS X can now use UpdateAgent's scheduling<br />
function to update their systems when they are unused and when network<br />
traffic is minimal. Users simply specify a day and time and UpdateAgent<br />
automatically launches regular sessions that check for new software<br />
updates.</p>
<p>The new UpdateAgent also enables users to sleep or shut down their Macs<br />
after their updating sessions are finished. Customers can use these power<br />
management features in conjunction with UpdateAgent's scheduling system.</p>
<p>PRICING AND AVAILABILITY<br />
Insider UpdateAgent X 10.0.4 software is free to all registered users of<br />
the updating service. New users can try a demo version that displays all<br />
files required to bring a system's applications up-to-date and downloads<br />
free Mac OS updates. The full version downloads updaters for all<br />
applications and costs $49.95 US for a full year of Internet-based updates.<br />
Both versions are available for immediate download from Insider's web site<br />
at <a href="http://www.insidersoftware.com" title="www.insidersoftware.com">www.insidersoftware.com</a>. For more information, users can send mail to<br />
<a href="mailto:info@insidersoftware.com">info@insidersoftware.com</a> or call 1-800-700-6340 or +1-760-804-9900.</p>
