AMERICAN GENERAL VENTURES PROVIDES
BUILD-TO-ORDER COMPUTERS ON WAL-MART
STORES INC.'S ONLINE STORE BUSINESS AND HIGH
TECH EDITORS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5,
1998--American
General Ventures, Inc. (OTC BB:AMGV.O), through its wholly owned
subsidiary ACI Micro Systems, Inc. (ACI) announced that its
Build-To-Order (BTO) desktop, tower and notebook computers are now
available at Wal-Mart Online (www.wal-mart.com).
American General Ventures has been selected as the exclusive
vendor for the Wal-Mart BTO computer program.
The Company began its partnership with Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
(NYSE:WMT.N) in 1995 by distributing its pre-configured computers
through numerous Wal-Mart retail outlets. Because of the success ACI
had with these retail stores, expanding its presence from eight to 70
stores in one year, the Company was asked in June 1997 to feature its
computers on the retailer's new Internet storefront. ACI's "Avail"
line of pre-configured computers has since occupied a prominent
position on that web site and is consistently a featured item. The
Company believes that the BTO computer program will greatly exceed the
sales of previous programs as it allows consumers to custom configure
a computer to their own particular desires and represents the fastest
growing segment of the personal computer industry.
The Company also recently announced that it has implemented its
own secure e-commerce web site to increase the marketing and
distribution of its computer products via the Internet. The Company's
web site (www.availpc.com) is promoted through Hotmail, a free e-mail
service owned by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT.O). Hotmail's membership of
over
16 million registered users makes it the world's largest free e-mail
service. The Company's web site features a direct link to Wal-Mart's
BTO web site.

OT: The next two or three days might be difficult just after a correction.

Great article by Anatole Kaletsky (Soros' mate) in the London Times about how overvalued DELL etc. are. It was reprinted in the Australian today. Don't know when it was originally published. I see the posible short-run bottom in DELL at around $85 or so - just above the lower 34 day Bollinger Band I use.

David (short DELL and MSFT, long NSM, PPOD, SWY - not bearish on everything!).
