No comment! ERIE, Pa., Feb 28, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Rent-Way, Inc. (NYSE: RWY) announced today the company will strengthen and augment its computer sales training by providing all store and regional managers with a state-of-the-art personal computer for home use at the nominal cost of $3.00 per pay check. The announcement was made last week by William E. Morgenstern, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, at the company's Annual Conference held in Orlando, Florida with over 1600 in attendance. "Training and supporting our people to keep up with the ever-changing world of technology is a critical component to our aggressive computer rental plans," said Mr. Morgenstern. Rent-Way will require the employees to update the products they use in their homes continuously. "We want our team to have the best technology in their homes so they are current on the features, advantages and benefits of what we offer our customers," said Mr. Morgenstern. Currently, Rent-Way rents Compaq brand computers in its stores. However, Rent-Way is negotiating a program with Dell and expects to have the full details of the employee program communicated to the field by the end of March.
