Third-party Press Release

FileMaker Design Master Class in Miami Beach, March 20-22

Miami, FL — February 28, 2006 — Small Company announced today that
SmallCo's Design Master Class will be offered in Miami's South Beach
for the third time, on March 20-22. SmallCo has offered the Master
Class for six years at locations across North America and Europe.

At a music conservatory, the Master Class is for advanced students,
whose own projects become the class curriculum. That's the way it
works with the Design Master Class, taught by Albert Harum-Alvarez.
Admission is by interview only, and requires that each student bring
a database — a 'master piece' — to the class. That database will
evolve and advance over three days, based on the principles discussed
in class.

Albert has been a featured speaker at six FileMaker Developer
Conferences, and is principal of Small Company (http://SmallCo.net).


Students Praise the Master Class
"Thoroughly enjoyed the three days! From the very start the light
bulbs were popping on and I could see where improvements in our
designs could be easily made." Doug Munich, FileMaker developer,
Vancouver, Canada.

"Three very productive days! I arrived feeling very uncertain and was
immediately make welcome and comfortable. We all learned from each
other as well as from the instructor. I've moved to a whole new level
of skill." Florence Ross, RN, in-house developer, Alberta, Canada.

"Unfortunately, for many developers the interface is the weakest part
of their work and the most problematic to get right. Fortunately,
Small Company lead the way in interface design and they are willing
to share their secrets. But they don't just give hints and tips.
Their philosophy and clean design are the standard to which all
developers should aspire." Peter Makin, DataWaves International,
London, England.


Pricing and Availability
The three day course tuition is $1,500. Discounts are available to
the second attendee from the same organization. More info is
