PRESS RELEASE
Thursday September 23, 1999


CoolKeyboards Corporation, manufacturers of the 'Linux Cool Keyboard' 
announced today that they have just concluded negotiations with LinuxMall in 
order for them to become the 'Worldwide Distribution Channel' for both their 
current and future products.

In addition to this, CoolKeyboards Corporation also announced that they have 
the following non-US keyboards available for distribution:

* German
* Japanese
* French
* Chinese
* Russian
* Arabic
* Spanish

According to the company's President, Keith P. Levey, he says, "We are so 
pleased that design issues for our non-US models are ready so quickly.  In our 
original projections, November was going to be our target."  In addition to the 
non-US keyboards listed, CoolKeyboards Corporation is willing to provide other 
non-US versions upon request from distributors.

A conversation with Lisa Syken, company Vice President, reveals, "LinuxMall was 
the perfect choice for our 'Worldwide Distribution Channel', they have quite a 
history as far as servicing the Linux community, as well as all of the tools already 
in place to provide International wire-transfer services and overseas shipping 
methods."

In order to become a distributor, email CoolKeyboards directly at this address, 
distribution@coolkeyboards.com.  The process for becoming a distributor is painless
and considerably less complex than the norm.

CoolKeyboards, a Florida Corporation, produces high quality input devices 
specifically for the Linux Operating System.

LinuxMall, a Colorado company, has been involved in the Linux community since 
1994, and with Unix since 1974, and is committed to supporting the Linux 
Community in every possible way.
