`
`CUPERTINO, Calif. -- PointCast Inc., a maker of screen savers that retrieve and broadcast news from
`
`the Internet, plans to ship a new screen saver that also lets individual companies broadcast their internal
`
`news to employees.
`
`The company said it will begin beta testing the new product on May 15.
`
`PointCast, a closely held start-up company, made a splash in February when it began giving away its
`
`software, which can retrieve news, stock quotes and charts, weather, horoscopes and other information
`
`from the Internet and download the data into the user's personal computer. The service can be
`
`programmed to automatically retrieve new data at set times, but this feature only works for those who
`
`have constant connections to the Internet -- usually office workers.

`
`The new product, server software that costs $995, would allow companies to develop their own content
`
`for PointCast and then serve up the content to only their own employees.
