                      NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCMENT

      MONTOR MOUNTED RECHARAGEABLE MAGNETIC FLOPPY DISK HOLDER

                              4/1/94

                                THE

                            "DISK-MAG"

 After 3 years in development the DISK-MAG will be available soon
 to solve the common annoying problem of misplacing floppy disks
 and risking possible damage. The DISK-MAG is placed on the side
 on the computer monitor with velcro tape. The DISK-MAG is
 capable of holding six 5 1/4" floppy disks or three 3.5" floppy
 disks. Multiple DISK-MAGs may be used for those needing larger
 capacity. The DISK-MAGs secret is the incredible holding power of
 the rechargeable magnet made of a special material that gets
 its recharge from the automatic degaussing coil that is in all
 color monitors. This coil is activated at power down and
 normally demagnetizes the monitors metal dot screen. The
 DISK-MAGs special reverse magnet becomes magnetized by this coil
 which is the reverse of what common magnets do. This reverse
 magnetism is then filtered thru our patented circuitry and powers
 the DISK-MAG. Normally a magnet would erase the contents of a
 disk but the DISK-MAGs reverse rechargeable magnet actually
 INCREASES the data integrity of the disk*. Therefore use of the
 DISK-MAG will help insure against data loss while being a
 convenient place to hold your disks.

 We are researching ways of using this technology to insure
 against data loss in tape and hard disk use. In addition we are
 looking into using the technology to recover data inadvertently
 lost thru normal deleting of files etc. Other possible uses are
 restoring old audio tapes.

 Price and availability will be announced soon.

 *The DISK-MAG circuity only attracts the positive magnetic pulse
 or binary '1' in the case of computer data. By attracting the positive
 pulse it increases the power or size of the pulse thereby increasing
 data integrity. The circuit is fairly simple for binary data which is
 1's and 0's. Analog data requires a more sophisticated circuit and
 more research before we can announce a product using this technology.
