 ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 9, 1998--Touch Industries, Inc.  and their 
touchscreen Internet service bureau division that rents Decision Support System

Industries' Point of Sale cash register clients and iInform's national software 
rental customers with touchscreen P.O.S. hardware, software and systems 
integration.  Additionally, on-site training and support will be also provided. 
 CompUSA will supply specific touchscreen point of sale terminals, servers,
