[Oslo, Norway 10/31/2003] -- Norwegian based ObjectPlanet , Inc (www.objectplanet.com) has donated software to BDPA (www.bdpa.org). The software will be used at the national high school computer competition on August 4-8, 2004 in Dallas TX. This donation elevates ObjectPlanet to the level of a 'BDPA Conference Supporter.

- As an international company it is exciting to see how our products are being used to promote technology and innovative development among young people on high school- and college level, says Bjørn Jarle Kvande, Director of ObjectPlanet. -- This is something that we are consciously supporting, and would want to see more of in Norway as well as in the rest of the world.

- The national High School Computer Competition (HSCC) team gratefully accepts this software donation, said Dwight Hugget, national HSCC coordinator, - Each year we strive to improve the competition in all facets. With Opinio, Network Probe, and ObjectPlanet Dev Suite, we are poised to take the competition into its third decade with new challenges for our students.
