FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Syndicomm Signs Exclusive License to Distribute GS+ Magazines and Software:

May 1, 2001 � It is with great joy and optimism that Ross Falconer, owner of
the complete works of GS+ Magazine, announces an exclusive sales and
distribution agreement with Eric Shepherd of Syndicomm. Because the
philosophy of the original publisher was to be true to the Apple IIGS
platform, GS+ magazine deserves and will benefit from the high quality and
professionalism on which Syndicomm has built their Apple IIGS reputation. It
is worthy of note that the entire GS+ collection (magazine + disk combo) was
created entirely using Apple IIGS desktop-publishing and programming tools.

GS+ Magazine chronicles an important period in Apple II history and is a
valuable asset to the Apple IIGS community. Now being re-introduced in the
context of full-featured Apple IIGS emulators and high-performance Power
Macintosh portables, GS+ Magazine will reacquaint former IIGS
enthusiasts/developers with the wonder and power of programming in their own
computing environment. More importantly, new Apple IIGS users will be
introduced to a suite of useful and fun applications and utilities, as well
as a very capable and friendly computing platform.

The re-release of the entire GS+ collection will include a limited number of
authentic original hard-copy back issues as well as a new and innovative
distribution model. Through special arrangement with EGO Systems (the
original publisher), the new distributions will be complete, in the original
layout, with the original software.

Syndicomm, a leader in the Apple II community, has devoted the time and
talent necessary to provide developers and enthusiasts alike with a unique
forum to share knowledge and resources. It is a place where legendary IIGS
programmers may influence and interact with ongoing IIGS development
efforts.

"I am extremely pleased that Syndicomm has received exclusive rights to
distribute GS+ magazine and that this publication will continue to be
associated with such dedicated members of the IIGS community," said Mr.
Falconer. "I am confident in the high quality and professionalism which
Syndicomm lends to its efforts, and that new developers and enthusiasts
alike will find the entire GS+ compilation to be entertaining, informative,
and collectible."

Mr. Shepherd added, "Syndicomm is thrilled to be bringing these most
sought-after products back to the Apple II community after several years'
absence.  We're enthusiastic about working with Ross for some time to come."
