VideoPropulsion Taps Industry Executive for Board
Mike Korodi to Become VPI Director
SLINGER, Wis., Jun 20, 2001 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- VideoPropulsion, Inc. (VPI) (OTC BB: "VDOP" chart, msgs) announced today that Miklos "Mike" Korodi has joined the Company's Board of Directors.

Mr. Korodi is currently Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for PTSC, also known as Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC BB: "PTSC" chart, msgs), the supplier of Java-based microprocessors currently used in all of VPI's products. During the height of corporate development in the Silicon Valley, Korodi was nominated for Entrepreneur of the Year. It was appropriate, as he has spent his career building companies. He was the founder, Chairman, and CEO of Cellular Data, Inc., a wireless communications company, and the founding President of International Wireless Associates, a provider of consulting services.

VPI, which had been spun off from GENROCO, Inc. (OTC BB: "GRCI" chart, msgs) a year ago, announced last month that it expects to merge with its former parent in the near future, subject to approval by shareholders and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Company plans to focus its efforts on providing hardware and software products for the emerging interactive television and high definition digital video image processing market.

"For almost a quarter of a century, Mike's career has been in building successful communications technology companies," declares VPI Chairman, Carl Pick. "He is well known for finding creative solutions for the development and marketing of new, innovative products and will be a tremendous asset to our burgeoning organization."

Prior to creating Cellular Data, Mr. Korodi founded and was President of Warner Amex Cable Communications Security Systems, a joint venture of Warner Communications and American Express. Previously, he had been Senior Vice President of Warner Cable Communications and also Vice-President and General Manager of the QUBE Division of Warner Cable Television, a partnership between Warner and Pioneer Electronics considered the forerunner of most of today's interactive communications technology enterprises.

Barbara Pick, President and CEO of VPI adds, "Mike is well connected to many major players in the digital television industry. We are very excited to add his abilities to our team."

Mr. Korodi is the holder of seven patents and has been a Board member for such companies as Micron Industries, Cincinnati Microwave, Biorex, Inc. and many others.

"I believe that there is an extraordinary opportunity today to help VideoPropulsion develop a leadership role in the deployment of interactive digital television content and delivery," says Korodi. "Look how companies like Cisco and 3Com have become giants by providing infrastructure for networking done by people leaning forward over their computers. How big can entrepreneurial companies which offer infrastructure to the much larger crowd of interactive TV users leaning back in their recliners become?" he queries.

GENROCO Breaks Own TCP/IP Record

/FROM PR NEWSWIRE 800-682-9599/
TO BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY EDITORS:

GENROCO Breaks Own TCP/IP Record

PORTLAND, Ore., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Six months ago,
GENROCO, Inc. (GI) (OTC Bulletin Board: GRCI) reported achieving a record
127 megabytes per second (MB/s) of sustained TCP/IP throughput using the
Company's GSN-6466 PCI Gigabyte Systems Network (GSN) host bus adapter (HBA)
on a Sun Microsystems Ultra 60 running the Solaris operating system. Last
week at a Sun Benchmarking Center here, GI demonstrated a new, Solaris-based
Sun Microsystems Sunfire 6800 receiving 270 MB/s via TCP/IP with the GSN HBA
-- better than twice the December record. The previous best ever reported on
an open systems platform had been 67 MB/s on a Sun machine using SBus OC12
ATM. Only SGI's proprietary XIO bus GSN HBA has achieved better results than
the GENROCO hardware and software.
Don Woelz, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for GENROCO, said, "We
have now clearly shown customers and partners that our Company can deliver
real, open systems interfaces which can sustain streams of uncompressed HDTV,
4K film, and other high bandwidth imaging. GENROCO is grateful to be working
with Sun on pushing the edge of the data movement envelope. We believe we can
further improve on these results in the months to come."
GENROCO expects to announce several GSN design wins during the next
several months.
