Someone recently was searching for a security product for the Mac. This
announcement just came in on the EvangeList digest.

*********************
Power On Software, winner of the MacHome Utility of the Year Award for
its ACTION Now Utilities debut product, ACTION Files, wants to thank the
Evangelist members for the incredible support you have given us since our
product rollout earlier this year. We are now proud to introduce our
industry-recognized network management suite called the Power On Trio,
consisting of On Guard, LAN Commander, and Screen To Screen. Until
October 31 (or promotional supplies are exhausted), special pricing is
being offered only to Evangelistas at savings of up to 70%. The Trio
consists of the following products:

On Guard, which has received a rating of 4 1/2 out of 5 in the October,
1998 issue of MacHome magazine, is a very simple, yet powerful security
product that permits a user to access only those portions of the Mac that
you want them to. It even permits multiple users on a single computer,
with no fear of any user accessing, moving, or deleting any items that do
not specifically belong to that user. There is no change to the standard
Macintosh interface, so the user is up and running with no supplemental
training. In addition to protecting against unauthorized access, On Guard
protects against unauthorized copying of files, as well as moving or
renaming files. Access to printers can be controlled and the number of
copies can be limited. An entire network can be configured literally from
a single computer!

LAN Commander offers network installation with a single click. You can
clone hard drives, launch or quit applications remotely, shut down and
restart computers, and even perform software audits, which customers are
finding invaluable with the Y2K issue of locating non-compatible
software. LAN Commander also gives you an easy-to-use application status
panel so you always know what's happening on your network, plus much more.

The third product in the Trio is Screen To Screen, a low cost solution to
the problems of managing a network and a help desk. As a presentation
tool, you can conduct focused demonstrations. As a collaboration tool,
you can work simultaneously with one or more users. As a maintenance
tool, you can control and configure remote computers. As a security tool,
monitor an entire network unobtrusively. And do it all without leaving
your desk.

Again, with prices beginning as low as $49.95, Power On is offering
savings of up to 70% to all members of the Evangelist for this limited
time offer. If you would like to try or buy the Trio call Power On at
800-344-9160 or 612-317-0344 or visit our web site at:
