BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2001

Getting up and running on a new computer just got easier.

In a special promotion announced today by Detto Technologies, customers who purchase a new HP Pavilion desktop PC preinstalled with Windows(R) XP will receive a free(a) IntelliMover(TM) PC data transfer kit to easily move information, settings and data from their old PC to their new HP Pavilion PCs.

IntelliMover(TM) helps Microsoft Windows(R) computer users quickly transfer customized settings, email, address books, MP3s and data files from their old PCs to their new PCs, giving the new computer the same look and feel as the old one. All the customer needs to do is install the IntelliMover software onto the old PC and then follow the easy step-by-step wizard to start the transfer.

"IntelliMover removes the main reasons why PC buyers delay purchasing a new computer -- the time and frustration involved in moving all their data, preferences and settings that have taken years to create," says Detto Technologies' CEO Larry Mana'o. "We're excited to work with HP to provide a solution that simplifies the data transfer process for its customers, helping them be immediately productive on their new HP Pavilion PCs preloaded with Windows XP."

With the purchase of an HP Pavilion desktop PC preinstalled with Windows(R) XP, customers receive an offer for a free(a) IntelliMover PC data transfer kit. Customers can choose either the free(a) parallel cable kit or, for a faster transfer time, a USB cable kit is available for the special price of $19.95. The promotion runs through Jan. 5, 2002.

(a) Both offers require a $5.95 shipping and handling charge. Visit

"We are committed to offering our customers the latest in flexibility and ease-of-use solutions for home PCs," said Rob Wait, business manager, HP Consumer Business Organization. "The Detto solution takes the fear out of upgrading to a new PC by providing consumers with an incredibly efficient means of transferring their customized settings and files to their new HP PC."

IntelliMover intelligently transfers PC data and settings from one software product version to another and across various Windows(R) operating systems, with no overwriting of data or drivers on the new PC. It features an easy step-by-step wizard to enable computer users to securely and selectively move only the items they want to their new PCs. For many users, moving to a new computer can take hours, days or weeks. With IntelliMover, a typical migration with the standard kit takes approximately 90 minutes, while the faster USB cable kit speeds the transfer time to about 20 minutes.
