* AGENDA COMPUTING MAKES HISTORY LAUNCHING THE AGENDA VR3 AT SPRING COMDEX
AND WILL UNVEIL THEIR NEXT PURE LINUX DEVICE AT PRESS CONFERENCE

(Orange County, CA Mar 29, 2001) Agenda Computing will officially launch
the world's first-ever pure Linux PDA, the Agenda VR3, at Spring Comdex in
Chicago to the U.S. consumer market on April 3, 2001. Bradley D. LaRonde,
Agenda Computing President and CEO, is scheduled to speak about Linux and
the Agenda VR3 at the April 3 press conference. LaRonde is also scheduled
to announce the next Agenda device to the media, which Ian LeWinter,
Agenda's Chief Strategy Officer says, "Will make the other guys scramble to
compete against our new Mindtool(tm)."

The launch of the Agenda VR3 represents a historic leap in the computing
capability of low cost handheld devices. "Finally there is a
PDA…powerful enough to run Linux and available at a cost [comparable to]
devices that aren't even capable of true multitasking," said LaRonde.

Agenda Linux, which runs on the VR3, is an embedded operating system
designed to run handheld and e-mobility devices without sacrificing desktop
computing power and capability. "Agenda's products are a direct result of a
huge amount of effort from all kinds of people. I feel that it's Agenda's
responsibility to contribute back [to the Linux community]. I never want
Agenda to lose sight of the fact that…[our] success is really a
reflection of the success of the Linux community," stated LaRonde.

Chief Financial Officer Dennis Shogren stated, "This is a very exciting
time to be an emerging company in the consumer electronics industry and
Linux is one of the hottest products in the market space. I'm thrilled to
be a part of Agenda and to participate in the creation of a company which
will be known for its technological innovation and commitment to the care
and intellectual nourishment of its people."

In addition to the robust operating software, the VR3 is powered by an NEC
VR4181 66MHz 32 bit processor, and houses 8MB RAM and 16MB flash
memory. The VR3 comes standard with CIR circuitry and software, which
allows the unit to act as a remote control for household appliances, and
will send a memo or message to a printer or other device by wireless
infrared transfer. The Agenda VR3 comes in H20 (transparent), Shark (slate
blue), and Matrix (black) and MSRPs for $249.

Agenda will hold their press conference on April 3, 2001 at 2pm during
Spring Comdex.
