ETC AND NIS IN AGREEMENT FOR VIEWMAGIC SPECIALTY MONITORS FOR MEDICAL
APPLICATIONS

Fremont, CA -- January 22, 1996 -- ETC Computer, Inc., announced today that
it has signed a distribution agreement for its line of 10-inch touchscreen
ViewMagic specialty monitors with National Integration Service (NIS),
based in Rochester, New York. The agreement calls for NIS to integrate the
small-footprint 10-inch ViewMagic monitors into touchscreen systems
developed for the medical market. 

ETC is the world's largest supplier of color specialty monitors. ETC's
small-screen high-resolution color and black and white monitors are used
for any application, such as point of sale and retail dedicated system
applications where compact size, price and high resolution are important.


Bill Yates, general manager of NIS, says, 'Small monitors fit a niche for
our customers. Real estate is a very important issue to hospitals that
need to fit as much into a lab as possible 

Resolution is also a key factor in selecting small screen monitors.
Comparatively, while the screen size of a 10-inch monitor is physically
smaller than desktop units, a 10-inch monitor with a .26mm dot pitch and a
640 x 480 resolution displays as much detail as a 17-inch unit with the
same dot pitch and 1280 x 1024 resolution. 

'ViewMagic monitors with a .26mm dot pitch are very sharp. For example, one
of our customers, a medical company, uses the .26mm monitors to view
ultrasounds, and is very pleased with the results,' says Yates. 

Kent Huang, president of ETC, said, 'In addition to complimenting our
high-quality product, NIS is very pleased with our service. Even though we
are located across the country, we understand the urgency of NIS'
business. Whenever possible, we expedite documentation and agency approval
and fill their orders within two to three days. This extra level of
service is what VARs have come to expect with ETC.' 

National Integration Service is a systems integration company specializing
in touchscreen turnkey solutions for medical and industrial applications.
