FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Marc Mennigmann releases the “Shift Key Suite” v1.0

Iserlohn, Germany — July 26, 1998 — Marc Mennigmann today announced the
initial release of the “Shift Key Suite”, a powerful collection of
applications to extend the functionality of password protection systems for
Macintosh computers.

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 controlpanels.

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.kagi.com/mennigmann/) 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.
