BeTwin is a software that enables two to
five users to share the computing power of a single
computer, i.e. the Host PC. It creates a virtual PC
station for each user to simultaneously and
independently operate in each station, similar to the
user operating on the Host PC. It makes use of the
pre-emptive multitasking feature of the Windows
operating system to fully utilize the unused processing
power in processors and enables users to run the same or
different applications simultaneously and independently
to create and edit documents, and to share peripherals,
for example, CD-ROM, printers and other hardware
installed on the Host PC.
All users can also surf the Internet and access emails
at the same time using only one modem, one telephone
line, one ISP account and even share network access with
unique customized desktop and network login.
BeTwin runs and displays information directly from DOS,
Windows and Java applications of the Host PC without
requiring any compression or decompression of the
displayed information, thereby providing a multi-user
platform for additional users to be added to a Host PC.
BeTwin provides cost benefits by reducing the user's
initial investment, cost of upgrading and cost of
maintenance and service. The process of installation is
quick and simple. By installing the video card into the
Host PC, connecting the Universal Serial Bus keyboard,
mouse, speaker and monitor and installing the BeTwin
software, an additional user is added.
