At least there is also some news. Another award. Funny how a company could be so well thought of that these awards are really not big events.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., (Nasdaq: CHKPF), the worldwide leader in policy-based management for active networks, today announced that its award winning Check Point(TM) FireWall-1(R) enterprise security solution garnered two additional industry honors. FireWall-1 was recently awarded Computer Reseller News' Editors' Choice Award as well as Network Computing magazine's Well-Connected Award for the third consecutive year.
The Editors' Choice Award from Computer Reseller News honors Check Point's FireWall-1 for its comprehensiveness and simplicity to install and maintain. "Check Point also offers resellers the sales and technical training and channel programs that are so vital to growing in the burgeoning security field," according to Computer Reseller News. For the Web Firewalls test, the CRN Test Center evaluated products from industry leaders, newcomers and established products. Some of the other products tested, which all run on Microsoft's Windows NT 4.0 platform, included Digital Equipment Corp.'s AltaVista Firewall 97 (NYSE: DEC) Microsoft Corporation's Proxy Server (Nasdaq: MSFT), Raptor Systems' Eagle NT (Nasdaq: AXNT) and Secure Computing Firewall for NT.
"It is great to see Check Point recognized for its relationship with resellers and its market leading technology," said Alex Thurber, president of Thurber Works, a Check Point Premier reseller. "Check Point really understands the key to ensuring the success of its resellers. Along with providing a superior product that our customers ask for by name, Check Point enhances our relationship with quality leads and joint marketing programs."
Check Point's FireWall-1 tested "exceptional" in the categories of installation, ease of use, functionality, technology and scalability. Computer Reseller News also gives recognition to Check Point's remarkable channel programs, which not only are tiered to the style and expertise of the reseller, but also distribute co-op funds to resellers and distributors, offer bonuses for quick follow-up on leads, and offer an extensive field-sales and engineering force. Computer Reseller News' Editors' Choice Award is profiled in the April 27 issue. A full report can also be found at crn.com.
"We are very pleased to have both our commitment to the channel and our technology recognized by a top channel resource such as CRN," said Deborah Triant, president and CEO of Check Point Software Technologies, Inc.
