	BOULDER, Colorado.  "Now anyone can be Captain of a Starship.  With RED ALERTTM, urgent messages really get attention whether there's a network problem, product difficulties, or the buildings on fire. RED ALERTTM messages can be sent to individuals or to everyone on the LAN.  RED ALERTTM is part of the new  NETTALK-Executive.TM 
	"Our goal is to solve real-time communications problems with split-second software management tools," noted Tom Cross - Chairman. NETTALK-ExecutiveTM allows management of personal and group action-items and company-wide calendar communications.  Managers can assign tasks, determine their status at a later date, and change action items as demanded in a 24-hour global business enabling the coordination of company-wide work schedules.  NETTALK-ExecutiveTM includes all the features of NETTALK+PLUSTM - phone messaging, yellow sticky pads, onlan ping-pong chatting, in/out box, telephone directory, and call log.

NEW COMPANY CALENDAR - Featureset
	The focus of the NETTALK-ExecutiveTM calendar is to provide, at a glimpse, activities affecting everyone in the organization ranging from 'the company picnic' to 'the shipment date of the booth to the exhibit hall' to 'flu shot date and times.'  The NETTALK-ExecutiveTM calendar is a company-wide communications information tool.  "Most companies need better communication among the staff.  All to often you find people thinking, 'I thought you were going to do that!'" Cross noted.  "These mis-communications cause the biggest headaches and require expensive rushed-order shipments and crisis mode operations to resolve problems.  Whether projects succeed or fail depends on whether people effectively communicate, e.g.,  'The bricks are to arrive on Thursday, has anyone ordered the cement?' Workgroups, small teams, and businesses have told us they want a LAN company-wide calendar at-a-glance," Cross indicated.  

NEW ACTION-MANAGER - Featureset
	Managers are looking for a way to communicate more effectively.  "Workgroup managers and small business owners don't have the right tools to track 'who's doing what,'" according to Vicki Gordon of Cross.  "With NETTALK-ExecutiveTM, Tom can look across the network to see what my action list is, and I can see his.   This way, we are working more closely together and are focused as a management team," she added.  With the action-manager in NETTALK-ExecutiveTM, there is a split screen of 1) actions and 2) their current status.  "Action-items don't get lost or duplicated allowing staff and management to operate more efficiently," Cross added.  
	The focus of the NETTALKTM product is communications-intensive features.  People don't compute, they communicate. The operative word in personal computer is personal.

	The PC is a highly personal communications tool. To this point, it has been mainly used for the management of personal files. "We need tools such as these to allow people to coordinate with others and be more expressive in their own style of communications," Cross added.
	NETTALK-ExecutiveTM for Windows has all the features  of NETTALK+PLUSTM which includes telephone call messaging, popup yellow stickypads, onlan chatting, call logging with new telephone dialer, telephone directory, in/out status box, and "if" messaging.
