FOR RELEASE AUGUST 5, 2010 (ANY TIME)
San Francisco, CA -- August 5, 2010 -- SmileOnMyMac, developer of award-winning productivity software for Mac OS X, announced a special Back-To-School discount. Students, faculty and staff receive a 40% discount on purchases made at the online SmileOnMyMac Education Store through September 1, 2010. The education discount is normally 30%.
The Education Store is available at http://smileonmymac.com/education. Purchasers will be asked for school information to verify eligibility for the educational discount.
"We are proud of our productivity tools for Mac OS X. We want to help Mac-using students and teachers be more productive this school year by offering an extra discount during the Back-To-School season." said Jean MacDonald, SmileOnMyMac partner.
Especially popular among educational users are PDFpen, a PDF editing tool that can be used for marking up academic papers, and TextExpander, a typing shortcut utility that speeds up writing tasks.
"PDFpen has been a lifesaver in my English Composition class," said college English instructor Tom Sloane at West Virginia University. "Students can receive personalized, annotated feedback quickly. I've developed my own palette of proofing marks that I can stamp on each essay as quickly as I could write them in. I give PDFpen an A+!"

- PDFpen, a PDF editing tool for adding text, images, and signatures; making corrections; filling out PDF forms; and OCR. (regular price: $49.95, with special 40% discount: $29.97)
