IndyBox slashes Prices by 10% to 25%

    Date:     November 20, 1999

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA -- IndyBox Systems announced they would be
lowering the price of all their systems from 10% to 25% immediately.

IndyBox Systems Chief Executive Charles Martin said "it is alarming to
realize that many companies have no Y2K plan in place yet, even at this
late date. Many organizations are trying to move their mission-critical
applications over to servers running GNU/Linux, a recognized Y2K compliant
operating system, as quickly as they can. We are doing our part in making
many late efforts affordable and readily available."
    
Martin added, "XM server production has increased 2800% in November as
many organizations begin their tardy migration to Y2K compliant boxes.
While many are well over-budget with their Y2K preparations, organizations
are coming to the realization that more severe liability could result in
failing to attempt to get a Y2K compliant operation in place before the
new year rolls in."

IndyBox Systems Chief Executive Steven Bond said "every dog has its
day. Open Source software will have many, many more days to come."
