Network Magic Cures Home Networking Headaches, Earning Second LAPTOP Magazine Editors' Choice Award



Software easily connects your home computers and printers and allows file and printer sharing across all major operating systems, including Windows Vista, XP and Mac OS

SEATTLE - May 14, 2007 - Pure Networks™, Inc., a leading provider of consumer software that simplifies the use of digital technology at home, today announced that its flagship consumer product Network Magic™ was awarded LAPTOP Magazine's prestigious Editors' Choice Award for the second year in a row.

Network Magic is the only home networking software that enables easy communication, printer sharing, and file sharing between computers running all major operating systems, including Windows Vista™, XP and Mac OS.

"Network Magic is the kind of program that really should be embedded in Windows XP or Vista but isn't," the LAPTOP review stated. "As home networks become commonplace, we really need a way to view all of the PCs on the network and manage who gets to access and share what."

"Printer sharing is much easier to set up here (using Network Magic) than in Windows XP or Vista...Network Magic lets you target specific folders for sharing and then get an overview of what printers and folders are being shared across the network. In addition, intuitive wizards take you through several troubleshooting maneuvers like strengthening your network's security or restoring broken or poor Internet access," according to LAPTOP.

LAPTOP editors awarded Network Magic 4.0 four out of five stars in its March 2007 issue. The review is available online at http://www.LAPTOPmag.com/Review/Pure-Networks-Network-Magic.htm

"Winning LAPTOP Magazine's Editors' Choice Award for the second year in a row is further validation that Network Magic is helping people solve the difficult issues associated with wireless computing and connecting printers and computers in their homes," said Pure Networks CEO Jeff Erwin. "People simply want to enjoy the digital home networking experience and need a safe, reliable, trouble-free way to make it happen so they can realize the benefits of today's technology."
