London, United Kingdom - March 01, 2008 - MildMannered Industries has announced that Baseline 1.1 for Mac OS X is now shipping. Baseline is a disk sizing application that features super fast disk scanning, and allows users to see how much each folder or file has grown or shrunk by, as well as its absolute size, making it much easier to see where their disk space has gone.

"A TreeMap view has been one of our most requested features" said Martin Redington, founder of MildMannered Industries. "Unlike other disk sizing applications, Baseline's TreeMap's are coloured according to whether files have grown bigger or smaller since the selected baseline."

"Together with the existing directory tree and browser views, Baseline lets you view your disk in whatever way is most comfortable for you."

• Superfast Disk Scanning.
• Compare Disks against saved Baselines.
• Directory tree, browser, or TreeMap views.

"Other disk sizing applications only let you see the size of each file or folder" said Martin Redington, founder of MildMannered Industries. "But when you're trying to clean up your disk, you don't really care how much space the operating system, for example, takes up. What you want to know is, what's taking up the space that used to be free?"

"Baseline lets you see what's changed on your hard disk. You can also opt to see only the items that have changed. Baseline removes the clutter, making it trivially easy to see where your disk space as gone."

To make cleaning up even easier, files and folders can be deleted, compressed, or archived directly from within Baseline. Baseline also knows which files and folders belong to installed packages, and will warn users if they try and remove them.

Baseline features:

• Superfast Disk Scanning.
• Compare Disks against saved Baselines.
• View only the items that have changed.
• Delete, Compress, or Archive items from within Baseline
• Detects system and package installed files and warns before removing them.
• Leopard Compatible

System Requirements:
Baseline requires Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard.

Licensing:

LOS GATOS, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- June 29, 2006 -- Mark/Space, Inc. and MildMannered Industries announced today that Mark/Space has acquired MySync from MildMannered Industries. MySync provides synchronization of personal information, such as Address Book contacts, iCal calendars and Mail accounts, between multiple computers running Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger." As part of the agreement, MildMannered Industries will provide continuing technical input and advice on the product.

"MySync fits perfectly with our product lineup and allows us to expand our focus from syncing Macs with cool gadgets to include syncing multiple Macs," said Brian Hall, Mark/Space president and CEO. "MildMannered Industries have done a fabulous job with MySync. We look forward to working with them to add additional capabilities that users will love and to bring the software to market."

"Mark/Space was one of our inspirations when entering the Mac software market, proving that independent software vendors could flourish," said Martin Redington, founder and commercial director for MildMannered Industries. "We believe that with their expertise, together we will be able to deliver a higher quality product to a much wider audience."

MySync uses Apple's Sync Services technology in Tiger to synchronize information between two or more Macs on a network, or even multiple user accounts on a single Mac. The big advantage to employing Sync Services is that an increasing number of applications use the technology, allowing MySync to handle a wider variety of information. Through Sync Services, MySync can synchronize information that comes from Apple Address Book and iCal, Bare Bones Yojimbo, Chronos SOHO Organizer, Market Circle Daylight, Microsoft Entourage and Mark/Space's Missing Sync™ line of gadget-to-Mac synchronization products. This makes MySync a valuable product for anyone who needs to keep information in sync across multiple Macs or user accounts.

Though still in development, MySync has been available to the public for several months as a pre-release beta. Mark/Space plans to introduce improvements with periodic beta releases leading up to the first commercial 1.0 release. For more information on MySync, or to download the current beta release, please visit http://www.mildmanneredindustries.com/mysync.
