BEAVERTON, OR — May 24, 1999 — Lightware, Inc., a leading supplier of ultraportable multimedia projection systems, announced today the opening of its full-featured e-commerce web site. Now customers can purchase Lightware projectors direct from the manufacturer, with all the convenience of the Internet.

"We launched the e-commerce portion of the web site to make projectors available when and where our customers want to buy them," Duane Benson, Director of Marketing, Lightware, said. "Lightware has led the industry by delivering the smallest and lightest projectors at the lowest prices and now with this new capability, we offer the quickest route from manufacturer to customer's door."

Lightware's e-commerce site allows convenient in-and-out shopping. It will hold a shopping cart for two weeks allowing users to set up their order, leave and come back later to finish it. Orders can be printed as an on-line quote prior to placement as well. Once the customer is ready to purchase, the order can be placed with a credit card for a complete, secure, automated transaction. Those customers who prefer to give their payment information over the phone can simply note the request in their order, and a Lightware representative will call them shortly.

Lightware's complete line of projectors and accessories is available on the site, including the value-leading $1,995 VP800 and the portability-leading $2,995 Scout.
