VAN NUYS, Calif., Jan. 27, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Alera Technologies --


    "The CD Copy Cruiser 48(tm) is as good a one-to-one duplicator
      as a music fiend or a techno geek could hope to find," Eric
               Schumacher-Rasmussen, eMEDIA Magazine

Alera Technologies, developer and manufacturer of Advanced Optical Recording Solutions proudly announces that its newest CD Duplicator has been awarded the prestigious eMEDIA Magazine's Editors' Choice distinction for product excellence. The CD Copy Cruiser 48 is a 48x stand alone, desktop, one-to-one CD duplicator that includes all in one unit, a controller, a CD-ROM and 48x CD-Recorder that can duplicate a typical 650MB CD in as few as 2-1/2 minutes or it can copy individual tracks from your music CDs creating "Favorite Hits" discs for your uncluttered listening pleasure.

"Alera Technologies is pleased and gratified by the glowing media recognition and rapidly accelerating user acceptance of our DVD and CD Duplicating and Recording Solutions. We have successfully established Alera Technologies as the leader in desktop optical disc duplicator technology with our 1:1 duplicators and duplicator towers as being the company that offers duplicators with the performance and features required by professionals, at consumer prices," noted Perry Solomon, President and CEO of Alera Technologies. "We are very proud to have been awarded another Editors' Choice Award."

Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen of eMEDIA Magazine had several more compliments to offer including: "It's a one-to-one workhorse capable of spitting out 20 full 700MB discs an hour, limited more by the operator's manual dexterity than by its own specs. So easy to use that even technophobes should warm up to the Copy Cruiser 48 in no time at all."

The CD Copy Cruiser 48 (Alera Technologies Part # 260112, Ingram Micro SKU # 508030) has a low Estimated Street Price (ESP) of only $349 so that Prosumer, Corporate, Government and Education users, all can enjoy the benefits of creating and duplicating CDs.
