SIGNWAVE LAUNCHES SLEEPTIGHT FOR APPLE PORTABLES - PREVENTS DAMAGE TO
POWERBOOK AND IBOOK DISPLAYS
London, UK, Friday 13th September 2002
http://www.signwave.co.uk/products/SleepTight/


Signwave UK has launched the Signwave SleepTight protective layer for
Apple G3 and G4 PowerBooks. The device sits in-between the keyboard and
the display of a closed PowerBook computer, and prevents the display
from becoming damaged by the keyboard. Signwave UK's new product offers
the ultimate in ease-of-use: It takes seconds to install, and best of
all - the actual product is constructed by the end user. The Signwave
SleepTight protective layer was created to address a well-known issue
that most PowerBook owners experience - that of a permanently damaged
display due to very tight clearance between the keyboard and screen.

"This is a radical new step for us," explains Signwave CEO, Adrian
Ward. "This is our first user-fabricated product that we've released,
and I think it's going to prove popular". Adrian himself suffered from
a damaged display on his first PowerBook. Upon upgrading, he invented
the Signwave SleepTight protective layer to stop his latest PowerBook
from suffering from the same fate. "I've been test-running my very own
SleepTight - and I must say - I'm very pleased with it".

Signwave UK specializes in radical and innovative software and
products. Their primary product - Auto-Illustrator, a cynical yet fully
functional parody of a popular vector graphic design application - won
critical acclaim at the 2001 Transmediale award in Berlin, and earned
an honorary mention at the 2001 Prix Ars Electronica. The SleepTight
sees Signwave UK moving into new territory - one where the
commercialization of a mere piece of paper reveals how individuals
consume technology products.
