The Komando Corporation Helps Kids in Crisis

Syndicated Broadcaster and Columnist Sponsors the 1995 Micrografx Chili
Cook-Off for Charity

Scottsdale , AZ (October 26, 1995) -- The Komando Corporation, headed by
computer technologist Kim Komando, a nationally recognized producer and
columnist, is doing its part to help the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children (NCMEC). As a sponsor of the 1995 Micrografx Chili for
Children Cook-Off, the largest annual Fall Comdex event, Kim Komando will
participate in the single, largest fund-raiser for the Washington,
D.C.-based NCMEC.

To date, the NCMEC has received more than $1.8 million in cash and in-kind
donations from The Micrografx Chili for Children Cook-Off and, as a
result, the NCMEC's recovery rate for missing kids has risen dramatically
from 67 percent in 1989 to an impressive 80 percent in 1995.

The list of sponsors of The Micrografx Chili for Children Cook-Off includes
several of the most influential and innovative technology companies in the
world, including IBM, Microsoft and Novell. The Micrografx Chili for
Children Cook-Off is unique in its ability to unite the highly competitive
technology industry behind a common cause.

Proceeds from the 1995 Micrografx Chili for Children Cook-Off enable the
NCMEC to greatly enhance its National Technology Network. The network
links missing children clearinghouses in 43 states and Canada, and can be
accessed worldwide through the Internet (http://www.missingkids.org). In
addition to money, technology companies have donated time, information,
and products throughout the year to help the NCMEC in its effort to find
missing children.

The 1995 Micrografx Chili for Children Cook-Off is scheduled during
Fall/COMDEX on Tuesday, Nov. 14, 6 p.m., at the Thomas & Mack Center in
Las Vegas. The fund raiser is a Texas-style hoe down where The Komando
Corporation will compete against other leading pundits in the technology
industry, not for the fastest computer chip, but for the best chili in
town and the fastest armadillo in an effort to raise money for children
who need help. And this year, the Motown sensation The Temptations will
rock the night away with all attendees showing their support for this
worthy cause.

Corporate sponsorship opportunities ranging from $3,500 - $30,000 still
exist for the 1995 Micrografx Chili for Children Cook-Off. Please call
