SOPHISTICATED CIRCUITS ANNOUNCES SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR REBOUND!(tm)

— Auto-Restart ADB Device Software Now Includes Logging —

BOTHELL, Wash., June 29, 1998 — Sophisticated Circuits, Inc. today
announced the immediate availability of Rebound! 1.1, an incremental update
of the PowerKey Rebound!(tm) software which logs the number of times it
automatically restarts the CPU after both application and system crashes as
well as the date/time of the last restart. The Rebound! 1.1 Update
accompanies the company’s announcement of the public availability of
Rebound!, previously available exclusively with WebSTAR 3.0, the leading
Web server on the Macintosh platform (see related release dated 6.29.98).
Rebound! is available today for a street price of $99 at
(http://www.sophisticated.com/).

“Some system administrators set up their systems to page them when Rebound!
restarts a machine,” said Jonathan Feinstein of Sophisticated Circuits.
“For other people, getting paged on restart is completely counter to the
idea of having Rebound! baby-sit your server for you. Instead they just
want a record of how many times and when last the Rebound! unit
successfully restarted their machine, thus allowing them the peace and
quiet they bought Rebound! for in the first place.”
