Orthodontic Supply Company Introduces :CRQTM Technology to Customers
ClassOne Orthodontics Links Product Catalog to the Web

LUBBOCK, TEXAS, March 27, 2001 - ClassOne Orthodontics is the first company in its industry to utilize :CRQTM print-to-Web technology from Dallas-based Digital:Convergence Corporation, enabling the orthodontic supply company to instantly connect customers from its catalog to specific Web pages through printed codes called "cues." The cues, similar to product codes, are read with Digital:Convergence's hand-held :CueCat™ device. ClassOne is Internet-enhancing its 2001 product catalog and is offering :CRQ software and :CueCat devices free to customers.

"ClassOne Orthodontics has a long-established reputation as a forward-looking organization, constantly developing the most innovative dental and orthodontic supplies," said Kenny Gallagher, president of ClassOne. "It only makes sense that we are first in our industry to offer our customers the convergence tools that let them access our products online without delay. :CRQ technology allows us to offer customers an added value that our competitors can't - instant access to any of our thousands of products with a single swipe of a :CueCat reader."

:CRQ ("See Our Cue") technology uses embedded cues to empower publishers, broadcasters and manufacturers to help consumers access relevant Web-based content quickly and directly. Print cues can be inserted into most printed material and are read with a :CueCat device using :CRQ software. The :CueCat reader processes cues, instantly linking a user's browser to a related Web page, eliminating the input of lengthy URLs and time-intensive Web navigation. Both the :CRQ software and the :CueCat device are free to consumers. Additionally, the :CueCat device can read any UPC or ISBN code on a product, making it instantly interactive with the Internet.
