The Tornado[TM], winner of Yahoo! Tech's "Last Gadget Standing" competition during the live Super Session at 2007 International Consumer Electronics Show, has earned national acclaim as "the Best Gadget" by providing an easy solution to the PC-to-PC transfer needs of the everyday consumer as well as those of advanced IT professionals.

The Belkin product claim of "easy" has NOT been demonstrated in several tests performed by Data Drive Thru[TM] and its strategic partners. In a recent independent lab test, The Tornado[TM] connected two PCs and transferred files faster and easier than the Belkin Easy Transfer product. Paul (DJ) Reber, Technical Director of Data Drive Thru[TM], reported, "It took literally seconds for The Tornado[TM] to network the two PCs and then transfer the target files from one PC to the other. But after nearly four hours of waiting for the Belkin product to find the files on the XP machine they just gave up on trying to complete the test with the Belkin Easy Transfer product."

The contest rules and application are available at www.TheTornado.com. The $100,000 challenge rules include that Data Drive Thru[TM] will not only disclose any potential winner but also how the winner was able to beat The Tornado[TM] should someone be the first to demonstrate a better solution. Applicants of the $100,000 challenge cannot infringe on Data Drive Thru's patent.

Mr. Andrus continued, "We believe it's impossible to network two PCs faster than with our patented solution. There is no better way to prove this than to offer this public challenge. This challenge should also put a reality check on the advertised ease of the Belkin product and others who claim their products are 'easy' and 'fast'."

The Tornado[TM] is available at www.thetornado.com for $59.95. For more information, visit www.datadrivethru.com or contact Clint Hughes at 972-897-7057 chughes@datadrivethru.com.
