SciTech Software Inc. Announces that the Complete Source Code to its
Leading Edge Graphics Driver Technology SciTech SNAP Graphics is for Sale

Chico, California -- (November 16, 2006) -- SciTech Software, Inc. today
announced that it has ceased further development of its SNAP device
driver technology in favor of a new line of web and business logic
technologies. SciTech also announced that it would begin looking for a
buyer for the company’s existing core technology, SciTech SNAP. SciTech
SNAP represents both a massive code base as well as a major advancement
in the field of operating system independent device driver development.
With existing support for well in excess of 240 unique graphics
chipsets, HD and AC97 audio codecs, and nearly a dozen API’s and
operating systems, SciTech is confident that the technology will attract
the attentions of a well qualified buyer. Interested parties should
email Andrew Bloo at the following email address: andrewb at scitechsoft.com

“It is with great sadness that we have come to the end of the road for
SciTech as a team” said Andrew Bloo, SciTech’s outgoing CEO, adding, “ I
believe very strongly in the solutions that we have created and am
admittedly disappointed by this outcome.”

SciTech Snap Graphics is a unique solution that provides an unrivaled
level of support and features sets to the embedded industrial market
segments. Leading edge companies have also used SciTech SNAP as a means
of supporting operating system and hardware, which are no longer
supported by their original developers. In addition to this SciTech SNAP
also has an advanced set of supporting tools, which ensure its
compatibility with a wide range of hardware solutions.

“Having spent the past 15 years following my own compass in the pursuit
of the perfect device driver solution I find myself now at a major cross
roads in terms of the future direction of SciTech” said Kendall Bennett,
SciTech Founder and returning CEO. “Computer hardware technology has
reached a level of maturity that we as a small company can no longer
adequately maintain, and hope a potential buyer can realize the full
potential of SciTech SNAP."
