"AirMedia Live! offers consumers a useful and exciting tool to maintain a consistent yet non-intrusive link to the online world." John M. Payne, Ex Machina's President, described AirMedia Live! as "the telephone bell for the Internet." In the past, Payne noted, a typical dial-up user might find that using electronic mail could actually be slower than using paper mail. With AirMedia Live!'s optional "It's Here!" service, recipients are instantly alerted to arriving e-mail, even when their computers are not online. One of the prime benefits of AirMedia Live!'s innovative PC Alert software is its combination of personal filtering and Internet addressing. The PC Alert software, working in the background, signals the arrival of incoming messages according to user-set preferences. Headlines and abstracts of filtered alerts are either automatically or manually displayed to the user. If more information, such as the full news story or the complete text of an e-mail message, is desired, a single click on the viewer activates the user's own Internet browser or online access program to go directly online to the original source. This gives the user complete control over the quickly changing world of the Internet.
