       Here's what some of Exhibit A's customers are saying about the        
                        revolutionary READROOM door:                         

   "I take great pride in being the first ROOMER, a/k/a user of
    ReadRoom...  Oh well, it feels good being No. 1 even if it means
    that I'm the oldest [can't win for losing], but one thing is for
    DARN sure, you can't lose with the stuff that Michael Gibbs gives
    us to use!"

   "Just what I was looking for! ... I've tried other reader doors, but
   yours is clean, fast, tight, direct and easy to set up and maintain. I
   like the fact that you don't have huge nag screens before and after
   the program executes."

   "What ties it together is its (Smoke & Mirrors) format, READROOM, a very
    good electronic binding method much better than "perfect bound" or
    "drilled" for paper - what READROOM provides is stability,
    flexibility, and an opportunity to mix music, artwork and words
    together into a beautiful and easy-to-use format. Thank you Michael
    Gibbs!"

    a literary or artistic masterpiece (such as Rubys or S&M) to benefit from
    electronic publishing."

   "Hi Michael, I downloaded ReadRoom v/3.0 the last time I was on, or
    from the Crowsnest..and I'm impressed!  Today it looks like TOC is the
    established standard for online mags.  W A Y  TO  G O !!!!

    I just set it up for a trial run on my end, and I very much like
    what I've seen.  I'm a little concerned about the maintenance
    involved, but I see you've addressed that with your IMPORT feature.

    Your Offline READER makes it the cat's meow!  Bottom line is my
    check is in the mail!"

    another.  Seems many of the international readers of OS/2Views are
    quite impressed with the readroom.toc/reader.com setup.  I am really
    hoping that this kindles some new business for you.  I, obviously,
    am quite pleased.  It is really easy to make a very attractive and
