WORLD LEADERS TO USE FUJITSU MOBILE COMPUTERS AT HALIFAX SUMMIT JUNE 15-17

Leaders to Use Tablet Computers from Fujitsu for Real-Time Research During
Summit Meeting

SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 30, 1995 -- Fujitsu Personal Systems, Inc. today
announced that it has been selected to provide its Stylistic 500 tablet
computer as the computing and communications solution for the upcoming
Economic Summit taking place in Halifax, Nova Scotia June 15 through 17.

"We are honored by the Halifax Summit Office's choice of the Stylistic
500," said Lou Panetta, executive vice president of Fujitsu Personal
Systems. "The fact that we were selected to supply the computing and
communications solution for the leaders of the world's most powerful
nations clearly demonstrates not only our leadership in the tablet
computing market, but also the viability of the market itself. In
industries ranging from healthcare to insurance to utilities, the market
for high-performance, application-specific mobile computing solutions is
growing exponentially."

The Halifax Summit brings together the leaders of the world's seven largest
industrialized nations, namely the United States, Japan, Great Britain,
Canada, France, Germany and Italy, for high-level discussions on
international economic issues and trade policies. At this year's meeting,
leaders of the European Union and Russian will also participate.

During the conference proceedings, a research facilitator known as the
"sherpa" will sit behind each of the nine leaders to coordinate all
real-time research from the conference room. The sherpa, a very
high-ranking official such as a chief of staff, is stationed at a desk
equipped with telephone, facsimile machine, printer and, this year, a
Stylistic 500.

When a leader needs information such as trade figures or some other data
that must be researched, he will turn to his sherpa. The sherpa, using the
Stylistic 500, will transmit the request to a research room three floors
above, where the delegation's research team is located. The researchers,
who will also be armed with Stylistic 500's, will look up the information
and then transmit it back to the sherpa.

Developed by Filbitron, a Toronto-based VAR, the communications solution
includes the Stylistic 500 running SMART 2000 conferencing software from
SMART Technologies Inc., aha! InkWriter by aha! software corporation and
serial communications facilities between the sherpa and the researcher. In
addition, scheduling, messaging and document management and retrieval
capabilities insure flawless meeting flow and control.

The Stylistic 500 is a 2.6-pound tablet computer designed for mobile
workers involved in high-end decision support activities. Powered by an
Intel 486DX2-50 CPU, the system features RAM expandable to 20 MB; two
PCMCIA version 2.0 expansion slots -- one for a Type III ATA hard disk
card or Type II solid state flash card and one for a Type III card or two
Type VII cards; and an 8-inch transmissive backlit, 64 level VGA screen.
It is the only tablet computer to operate on standard Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion)
batteries, which can be purchased in most consumer retail outlets.
