News Release
|
On November 2nd, 1998 SearchBC.Com Communications will release its new 'SearchBC Screensaver-SearchTool'. This useful and fun new Internet utility will be available for download 'free of charge' from http://www.searchbc.com. The 'SearchBC Screensaver-SearchTool' is a valuable utility for Internet users requiring fast reference to Internet based information from British Columbia. The screensaver features British Columbia and its regions and has a unique added feature that provides the user with the ability to search the SearchBC.Com search engine for BC web sites directly from the screensaver on the user's desktop.
"This is one of a number of Internet search features being introduced over the next few months by SearchBC.Com", says SearchBC.Com Director, Marie Phillips-Bednash. "We know that Internet users want shortcuts to search the Net. Time saving has become an important user issue and this tool is a fun and convenient way to reduce the steps needed to get local information on-line. In fact, we've also built in a 'auto-connect' feature that will connect off-line users to the Internet using their existing dial-up account."
The screensaver software has been compressed for faster download and easy access by using software provided by SearchBC.Com's newest strategic advertiser, Aladdin Systems Inc. of California. Internet users will also be able to download a free copy of Aladdin Expander, Aladdin's expansion utility, and DropStuff, Aladdin's shareware compression software directly from the SearchBC.Com web site. Aladdin Systems Inc. is the developer of the award-winning family of StuffIt compression and expansion utilities. Aladdin's powerful software makes transmission, access and organization of data easy and fool-proof.
