[Ken Case]

For Immediate Release

The Omni Group ships OmniWeb 4.0!

Seattle, Washington-- May 7, 2001

"New OmniWeb ROCKS!" "...it is, by far, the best-looking browser I've 
ever seen in my life." "...it's ridiculously cool." "...without 
question, the best of breed." "OmniWeb is such a cool product that it 
has replaced all other browsers..." "OmniWeb is a dream come true for 
developers." "It is unequivocally the fasted, smartest, best looking, 
easiest, and yes, dopest web browser I have ever used!"

These are your words, and OmniWeb is your browser. And thanks to all of 
you, OmniWeb 4.0 is finished and ready to ship!

OmniWeb 4.0 is a full featured native web browser for Mac OS X, 
featuring:
	• a fully "Aquafied" user interface with a very cool look
	• the ONLY browser to support color profiled images (using 
ColorSync)
	• multithreaded architecture takes full advantage of symmetric 
multiprocessing (fancy talk meaning-- this is a fast browser)
	• slide out bookmark and history drawers
	• a bookmark feature that tells you when your favorite site has 
been updated
	• the first text searchable history
	• the best drag features of any browser on the market
	• lots of useful keyboard shortcuts to make life on the web easier
	• a fully configurable Aqua toolbar so you can make your browser 
look the way you want it to look
	• support for JavaScript, Flash 4, Layers, QuickTime, SSL, 
Cascading Style Sheets level 1, and in-progress support for Java applets.
	
Finally, a web browser that takes full advantage of everything Mac OS X 
was designed to be. As Mac OS X is the future of the Macintosh, OmniWeb 
4.0 is the future of web browsing.

Our guiding principle here at Omni Group is that software should be fun 
and you should enjoy using it. We write our applications for you, the 
user. That is why we encourage you to try fully functional versions of 
our products for free. You shouldn't have to pay for software you don't 
find useful, and you shouldn't pay for it if you think it sucks.

We love to program. That's what we do. We are continuing to improve our 
products and we will continue to improve OmniWeb. Just as Apple is 
continuing to refine Mac OS X, we are working to refine OmniWeb (and 
while we don't yet have 100% compatibility with some 
JavaScript-intensive pages, we won't rest until we do!). If you do like 
OmniWeb 4.0 and you like what we're doing here at Omni Group, we 
encourage you to support its development by purchasing an official 
license. Licenses are $29.95 ($19.95 educational) and full purchasing 
information and sample licenses are available at 
http://store.omnigroup.com/.  The more licenses of OmniWeb we sell, the 
more development time we'll spend on OmniWeb and other Mac OS X 
applications. Look for OmniWeb 4.1 this summer and keep checking back 
with us for constant updates and improvements. Great software evolves 
with time, experience, and lots of Mountain Dew.
