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 companys 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 APIs 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, SciTechs 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."
