SAN FRANCISCO, CA (05-Jan-2000) — Mediafour
Corporation’s
flagship software product, MacDrive, has won the Cool2 Award
in the category of Data Sharing from Photo Electronic Imaging
(PEI) magazine. Mediafour Corporation is respected as a
developer of software products that simplify cross-platform file
sharing. PEI is considered one of the world's leading
monthly publications for digital photography and imaging professionals.
Quality, Innovation, Ease Of Use And Advancement
According to PEI, products receiving the Cool2 award
are nominated by a team of technical advisers with expertise
in a wide variety
of imaging disciplines. PEI's editors and contributing
editors cast votes to determine the winning products. The
advisers based their nominations on several factors, including
quality, innovation, advancement, ease of use, and broadness
of scope. Regarding MacDrive, they raved, "We can't
live without this one."
MacDrive appears in the January 2000 issue of PEI within a complete
list of Cool2 Award recipients. The complete
list is available on PEI's web site at www.peimag.com.
According to PEI, competition has intensified for each of the
five years since the inception of the Cool2 awards. Phenomenal
growth in digital imaging technologies continues to spawn new,
high-quality products, each racing to outperform and out-price
the others.
This competitive spirit marks an important turning point in the
imaging revolution. Improvements in existing hardware and
software have raised standards to new levels. This year's
Cool2 award winners offer more diversified capabilities, more
bang for the buck, and a wider scope of market influence than
ever before.
