COMPUTER LIFE SURVEY FINDS INTEL'S REPUTATION
TARNISHED BY FLAW HANDLING, BUT BUYERS UNFAZED

SAN FRANCISCO - Dec. 31, 1994 - While Intel finally bowed to mounting
industry pressure and announced plans to offer a "no questions asked
return policy" on its flawed Pentium chip this week, a new survey,
commissioned by Computer Life magazine, reveals that buyers in the
consumer marketplace are unfazed by the imperfect chip.

The survey, released Thursday, discovered that all of the negative news
surrounding the tabulating flaws of the Pentium chip has had negligible
impact on consumers' current or future decision on whether to purchase
a Pentium-based personal computer. Computer Life magazine, the leading
special interest consumer magazine about personal computing, reports that
consumers who plan to buy a personal computer and are aware of the flaw
are not likely to change their purchases of personal computers as a result
of the flaw.

TRUETYPE SIGNATURE FONTS INTRODUCED

Windows and Macintosh System 7 users: TrueType Signature Fonts. RISS can
create a scalable TrueType font of a customer's individual signature. The
signature is used like any other font and can easily be incorporated into
computerized faxing, mail merges and form letters, offering considerable
time savings.

NEW EDITION TO PACKARD BELL's NAVIGATOR OPENS
THE DOOR TO A VIRTUAL ELECTRONIC HOME OFFICE

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. - Jan. 5, 1995 - Packard Bell has added a Study to
its environment-based, user-friendly, graphical interface program Navigator.
The newest "room" is a three-dimensional virtual home office complete with
all the electronic amenities of a real home working environment. The Study
joins the other familiar rooms from Navigator, including Kidspace,
Workspace, the Learning Center and the Software section.

Building on the original concept of Navigator, Packard Bell's new Study
environment makes accessing the many appliances bundled with the company's
PC systems easier than actually using consumer electronics equipment in a
real office environment. With the Study, Packard Bell has designed a
colorful rendering of a cozy den complete with a stereo, fax, speaker phone,
television and answering machine. All the user needs to do to access any of
these functions, is simply click the mouse on the picture of the appliance.
Also in the Study is a PC from which users can get to basic computer programs
such as word processors and spreadsheets.

per minute -- faster than most people can type. Testing has shown "DIGITAL
DICTATE" to be up to 98 percent accurate, and automated proof reading easily
