Freedom Scientific offers 50 percent discount on new MAGic release

(For purchases from the United States and Puerto Rico only. Anybody outside this region should check with their local distributor.)

(St. Petersburg, Florida, June 17, 2003) – For a limited time, those with low vision who need to magnify their personal computer or laptop screen can buy a MAGic screen magnification with speech program at half price, Freedom Scientific announced. From now until October 31, 2003 this time-limited, special 50-percent discount applies toward the purchase of MAGic Professional and MAGic Standard.

With budget cuts sweeping across local, state and federal agencies and school districts, now is the time to make sure the just-released MAGic 8.02 software is installed on your computer. Schools can benefit by adding seats to existing licenses and saving funds that can be earmarked for other projects.

"MAGic 8.02 provides unparalleled performance along with the essential features magnification users need to fully utilize their computers," said Dusty Voorhees, Senior Product Manager for Freedom Scientific.

MAGic 8.02, that can be yours for as little as $150 depending on the version you choose, is packed with enhancements that provide smoother performance when moving the mouse pointer or the magnified view. Mouse tracking is quicker and more responsive than ever. Your magnified view pans smoothly and easily, allowing you to quickly move around the screen.

People who have used the newest version of MAGic are impressed with its power, functionality and response. John Voet of Williamstown, Ontario, Canada, said he has uninstalled everything other piece of equipment he ever owned in favor of MAGic.

"For a low-vision person, it is the best and only access tool I need and use, he said."

Others agree:

"Simply put, the magnification is smoother than anything I have ever used. I recently downloaded your competitor's product and there is no comparison." – Don L. Tolle, MAGic user and owner of TrueTech Computing Solutions in Cincinnati.

"I have been using an editor for video to put together home videos. The editor program only allocated a small viewing area in one corner of the screen. MAGic successfully magnifies this streaming video area making viewing and editing with this program much more usable." - Mike Manning, MAGic user in Billings, Montana

Five representatives from Freedom Scientific will be touring the United States to provide MAGic training to selected schools and agencies. Whether or not you plan on attending, Freedom Scientific encourages you to download a free MAGic demonstration from its Web site here: MAGic demo.

To order, contact your local dealer, or call Freedom Scientific at 1-800-444-4443 or 1-727-803-8000.
