Propel Software Releases New Version of Internet Accelerator for Macintosh
Native Mac Interface Now Available for Power PC and Intel Macintosh Hardware Platforms

BALTIMORE, Md., ISPCON Spring 2006, Booth #205, May 16, 2006 – Propel Software Corporation (www.propel.com), a market leader in Internet acceleration solutions, announced the general availability of Propel® Accelerator 5.2 for Macintosh. The new version runs on all Mac operating systems version 10.2 and above, including both Power PC and Intel Mac platforms.

Propel launched its original native-interface version for the Mac in 2004. It is still the only Internet accelerator on the market with a native Mac interface.

“The Mac community values an authentic Macintosh user experience, so it’s very important to us that we continue to provide Intel Mac users with an accelerator that’s built for the Mac OS from the ground up,” said David Murray, co-founder, president and chief operating officer of Propel. “Version 5.2 for Macintosh is consistent with our commitment to providing an exceptional, enjoyable experience for Macintosh Internet subscribers everywhere, regardless of what Macintosh hardware platform they prefer.”

“Propel Accelerator not only provides outstanding performance for my customers, but its user interface truly looks and feels like a Mac product. Any Mac user can spot a Windows port a mile away” said Jeff McWard, president of MacDialUp.net. “From the get-go Propel saw the value of fully integrating their accelerator into the Mac operating system, and I can’t wait to upgrade to version 5.2 and get it out to my subscribers who have migrated to Intel Mac machines.”

Propel Accelerator is an award-winning Internet acceleration product that provides an optimized experience for users of dial-up connections, low-speed broadband, wireless mobile data and 802.11 hotspots. It is currently deployed by hundreds of ISPs and other Propel users in more than 75 countries, making available an improved Internet experience to more than 34 million subscribers.
