Question to Doug Foster: I see from your earnings report that you spend $1,600,000 in 1997 on marketing. That is $30,000 a WEEK! What did all this money go to? I saw at most 2 or 3 ads in some of the internet magazines, but that was back in February. I have not seen a single ad since then. Did this include travel expenses, trips to Maui?

NetMagnet enables users to trace their browsing steps, organize search results, and makes sharing and delivery of Internet information and research findings easy and efficient. Priced at $79.95 (SRP), NetMagnet is available in retail stores, on the PeakSoft Web site, through value added resellers, and direct from PeakSoft. ''NetMagnet addresses the productivity needs of Internet users by combining a number of tools in one integrated solution,'' stated Doug Foster, PeakSoft president and CEO. ''We are responding to the growing demand of Internet and intranet users wanting better tools for information gathering and sharing. NetMagnet is ideal for individual user, workgroups and businesses alike.'' NetMagnet works with standard Web browsers like Netscape Navigator or Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer making the product benefits available to nearly 100% of Internet users. NetMagnet is a highly customizable, browser-independent research suite that makes Web use more productive and relevant by helping users track, store and share information. Incorporating PeakSoft's Web acceleration technology, NetMagnet, provides faster browsing speeds and the capability to organize, edit and save Web research. Furthermore, NetMagnet automatically freshens stored Web site results, thus improving the Web as a significant research and data gathering resource. NetMagnet Features Keeps track of sites visited. NetMagnet's PageTracer provides a complete history of each browsing session. Users can retrieve important URL listings from past searches, and also edit, delete, reorder, save sessions and annotate every listing in the history. Share results of Web searches. NetMagnet users can share the results of their Web searches for collaboration with others. The product's copyrighted PagePresenter technology enables users to create slide shows of pages they have gathered, add comments, and send to others via an e-mail attachment through an executable (.exe) file or as a Java applet within a Web page. Recipients simply click on a button to be transported to the sites, without having NetMagnet on their machine. NetMagnet also allows individuals to create and distribute content on intranets and networks. Manages and organizes search results. NetMagnet features a built-in PageFolio which lets users organize results of Web searches. Users can build a topical filing system to organize and archive pages in a ''snapshot'' version, or to automatically refresh specified pages at a user-defined interval. Faster browsing on-line or off-line. NetMagnet includes PeakJet, PeakSoft's award-winning Java-based Web accelerator, which speeds browsing. PeakJet uses intelligent agents to ''look-ahead'' and pre load links, and creates its own intelligent cache so users can access them quickly. It also freshens the users' most important sites in the cache to keep information current and enables easy off-line browsing of research and information. Save items in Collage pages. In a feature to be delivered as part of the free software update feature built into all PeakSoft software, NetMagnet users can create Collage pages to collect a selected individual element or elements from any Web page. Elements can be saved to a file as a Java applet, or can be archived and/or refreshed as source material is updated. Switch browsers on the fly. NetMagnet works with the major browsers but is completely independent, allowing the user to switch browsers in the middle of a session without losing important results.
