FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Marc Mennigmann releases the “Shift Key Suite” v1.0.6
Iserlohn, Germany — Aug 25, 2001 — Marc Mennigmann today announced
the release of the “Shift Key Suite” v1.0.6, a powerful collection of
applications to extend the functionality of password protection systems
for Macintosh computers. v1.0.6 adds compatibility for the MacOS up to
9.2.1
Why Do I Want To Disable The Shift Key?
=======================================
Holding down the Shift key when launching your Macintosh will prevent
all extensions to load at start-up. This is an interesting feature when
you have start-up crashes from incompatible extensions and control-
panels.
However, if your system is running smooth, you may want to protect your
computer with a password protection or a similar application/extension.
Most password protections for the Mac are extensions or controlpanels.
Therefore you can simply bypass them when holding down the Shift key at
start-up.
This is where the “SKS” comes in. It gives you the option to disable the
Shift key only for the start-up time. After your Mac booted, the Shift
key works as it always worked when you worked with your Mac.
The “Shift Key Suite” is US$5 shareware. It is available from Marc
Mennigmann’s web site http://www.mennigmann.com and all major Macintosh
shareware archives and ftp sites. The “Shift Key Suite” is free for all
registered users of the Macintosh password protection THE BLOCK.
System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or clone running MacOS System
7.0 or later.
What’s New?
===========
v1.0.6 adds compatibility for the MacOS 9.2 and 9.2.1. All systems since
MacOS 7.0 are supported now.
