"As a musician and band leader, personal communication with, and sharing of our engagement and tour photos with our fans around the globe is very important. Being
able to quickly and easily put together a compelling visual story with information on tour and our music albums, and then deliver on the Web or via e-mail to clients and
fans hasn't been available to me before LiveSlideShow! The product is so easy to use! I've been taking our Swing Tour Europe 2000 photos and having fun creating
interactive stories to share with fans, family friends and clients. I expect the music scene to jump on this product and opportunity to target a growing community of
photo enthusiasts on the Web."

"We are on the threshold of entering an era of personal visual communication," says Michelle Lampmann, market research analyst, InfoTrends Research Group, Inc.
"Already, the most popular use of digital photos is sharing them via the Internet, either through email or on Web sites. Digital photos are becoming the most shared
personal content on the Internet, following email."

"LiveSlideShow takes sharing of digital photos on the Internet to the next level. Instead of delivering individual static photos, consumers and businesses can now easily
create and share a series of personal photo content within highly optimized special effect rich movies on the Web or through e-mail," says Randall H. McCallum, CEO &
President, Totally Hip. "A new study from InfoTrends Research Group reveals that revenue from digital camera sales in North America will reach over $1.9 billion this
year, exceeding revenue generated from film camera sales by almost 10%. And it is expected that Digital camera unit sales will exceed film cameras by 2002, growing
from 6.7 million in 2000 to 42 million in 2005. These millions of users will be looking for easy to use compelling personal Web authoring tools to produce Web ready
content, and Totally Hip is aggressively targeting this market and we'll be announcing some strategic partnerships soon, after the Windows product goes commercial
release. This is the first of many online personal communication events, and we are pleased to be working with World Without Borders to introduce LiveSlideShow to
consumers and our many shareholders."
