  LINCOLN, NE, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
MacPractice, Inc., the developer of MacPractice MD, MacPractice EMR,
MacPractice DDS, MacPractice DC, and MacPractice 20/20, the leading
practice management and clinical applications for Mac, has collaborated
with Aqua Connect, the leader in Mac terminal services, to deploy and
support MacPractice software on PCs, thin clients, and smartphones.

    Aqua Connect Terminal Server (ACTS) can be installed on an Apple server
with Mac OS X Server. Once ACTS is installed, a PC can run a Mac OS X
terminal session providing simultaneous access to local Windows
applications and peripherals and to MacPractice. This allows offices to
use a mix of Mac and non-Mac terminals with MacPractice.

    This solution provides a PC user access to Mac software through an Aqua
Connect session. PC software and peripherals can be accessed locally on
the PC client. The PC user can fully experience the best Mac applications
for doctors' offices from MacPractice and the latest operating system from
Apple, all courtesy of Aqua Connect.

    Files can be easily shared and text may be copied and pasted as well
between environments. MacPractice interfaces to PC applications, such as
dental and medical imaging solutions that require proprietary PC drivers,
hospital and insurance Windows-only solutions, and clinical laboratory,
are supported.

    There are many positive ramifications of this announcement, particularly
for doctors who prefer to use Macs that have a significant investment in
PC hardware and peripherals.

    "Now dentists can move to MacPractice without having to replace every PC
or having to run Windows in a Virtual Machine to use their expensive PC
digital imaging solutions. Clinical laboratories can provide physicians
with PCs that run their orders-results software and give simultaneous
access for the nurse to MacPractice. This technology drives down the cost
for all providers who cannot afford to upgrade to all native Mac solutions
when they move to MacPractice," stated Mark Hollis, MacPractice's
President.

    "We are very excited to offer the Aqua Connect solution with MacPractice
to make it easier and less costly for a doctor to use Mac software in
their practice," said Renee Mehrian, acting CEO of Aqua Connect. "This
solution provides the interoperability between the Mac and Windows
platform that is necessary in medical offices that have existing PC
hardware."

    Physicians, dentists, chiropractors and eye doctors are encouraged to view
