Under the agreement, the Asimware software engineering team will immediately join Iomega's software division. In the fourth quarter of 2001, Iomega expects to introduce full-featured optical drive software which includes a unique "skins" technology that enables users to customize the look and feel of their software.

Iomega expects to offer new software using Asimware technology in future CD-RW software bundles that will be available in the retail channel. Iomega's current CD-RW software bundles include Roxio, Inc.'s Easy CD Creator and DirectCD software for Windows PCs, and Toast software for Macintosh computers..." NULL
