Portland, Oregon... April 4, 2001 -- Rose City Software, the software division of InfiniSource.com, announces the appointment of Paul Mayer as Vice President of Software Development. Paul comes to this position direct from the Microsoft Network Online Shareware Forum where he served as Forum Manager since the early beta days of MSN in 1993. The Shareware Forum at Microsoft Network was recently absorbed into ZDNET, thereby making Paul's position there obsolete.

Friends for a number of years, Joseph Burke, InfiniSource CEO, immediately approached Paul when he learned of this surprising turn of events and asked him to join the team at Rose City Software, InfiniSource's popular software division. Fortunately for InfiniSource, Paul accepted the offer and was appointed VP of Software Development for the fast growing company.

"We are proud to have Paul join our creative team at Rose City Software," says Joseph Burke. "Paul brings his extensive experience and expertise in the field to his new position as Vice President of Software Development and will directly oversee the development of new applications to broaden our menu of shareware offerings."

Paul has been a Shareware author himself since 1981 and is a Past President of the Association of Shareware Professionals, of which Joseph Burke is a lifetime member. Paul was inducted into the ASP Shareware Hall of Fame in June of 2000.

"I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to search out new and exciting software as well as ideas for publishing and promoting through Rose City Software, "says Mayer enthusiastically. "I know a lot of authors in this industry with exciting new programs and have a few ideas up my sleeve that will really enhance our software line."

Paul built his first personal computer during the bicentennial year, 1976. He created and ran the first HBBS Bulletin Board System with freeware downloads and messaging on an H-8 Heathkit computer in the 1970's under the CP/M operating system. Some of Paul's shareware programs include, ZPAY 3 Payroll, PayWindow Payroll, Cache Banish Pro, The Virus Checking Assistant, and more. He also wrote the world's first memory resident envelope addresser GRAB many years ago. Paul was also inducted into the SIC Shareware Hall of Fame back in June of 1997. He develops database driven web sites in his spare time.

Paul joins Chris Parnell and Eric Salmassy, senior account development managers at Rose City Software, and will be working directly with InfiniSource CEO Joseph Burke to bring more talented software developers on board and help them refine their product and bring them greater worldwide recognition.
