July 19, 2005

VVI today announced the release of Vvidget version 10.2.1 which includes
programmable graphs for dashboard widgets. Key features include:

Free Use: Download Vvidget now for free and use the bundled historical CPU
Chart Dashboard Widget. The source code is included within that widget.

Graphical Layout: Part of the attraction of a widget is its unique
widget-like style which is unlike a normal application user interface.
Graphs are designed using the powerful Vvidget template building tool so
they can take on the highly-stylized appearance of a widget.

Simple Programming: Programming graphs into Dashboard Widgets is defined in
the Vvidget Code reference manual. The programming model is concise and
results in a small widget footprint.

Deployment Options: Users can download Vvidget for free so that Widgets
based on Vvidget function, developers can purchase distribution rights to
include Vvidget in their own products for distribution, or can vend graphs
in Dashboard Widgets from their own server using Vvidget Server or a
hosting Chart Service.

Unparalleled Commitment: VVI has continuously served its customers for over
a decade without interruption and with continuous product development. The
white paper Mac OS X on Intel Position Statement states VVI’s commitment to
the Mac platform and gives some history on the development of Vvidget.

contracting and development companies for Mac OS X related technologies.
