ALERT: Friday internet play ...HUGE Friday December 18, 7:00 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: CD Warehouse, Inc. CD Warehouse, Inc. Opens On-Line Market; New Web-site Announced OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- CD Warehouse, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDWI - news) Chairman-CEO Jerry Grizzle today announced the beginning of the Company's new interactive web-site. CD Warehouse is one of America's fastest growing retailers of new and pre-owned CD music with 317 retail stores operating in 40 states and in five foreign countries. In making the announcement, Mr. Grizzle commented that: ''I am delighted to say that CDWarehouse.com is open for business. This is just the first phase of our planned online music community. CD Warehouse will add several enhancements to the Web site over the next several months.'' Mr. Grizzle went on to say: ''CD Warehouse has developed a strategy for Internet marketing we call 'B-M-W,' bricks, mortar and the web. We have developed a growing, profitable retail business of over 300 stores and a proprietary database. The Internet becomes a logical extension of our core business and reinforces our primary business. In 1997, Internet music sales accounted for only three-tenths of one percent of total recorded music sales. However, National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) estimates that percentage will grow to 8% by 2001. That 8% represents an estimated $1.4 billion in sales volume. By applying our 'B-M-W' strategy we will be positioned to take advantage of that growth, while simultaneously growing our core retail business.'' The CD Warehouse site enables consumers to conduct searches in all categories of music, including Rock/Pop/Soul, Country, New Age and Classical from among new releases and one of the largest inventories of pre-owned music in the United States. CDWarehouse.com has licensed the contents to the All-Music Guide™ Site, winner of the Yahoo award for best content, which will allow users access to a storehouse of music information. Enhanced security safeguards are provided for credit card purchases. Some of the other unique features of the CD Warehouse On-line Music Community are as follows: I. Discfolio™ - enables customers to track their entire CD collection. Existing CDs can be entered into Discfolio and new purchases are added automatically for registered users. It organizes the user's entire CD music collection and provides insurance protection for lost or stolen CDs. All for $3.95 a year after a 30 day free trial. II. Mind Candy - encourages the user to play games such as Mixmaster (mixing instruments and sound effects to create original songs) and Name That Dance Step (identifying various animated dance steps) which are both entertaining and challenging. III. Interact - a chat room and message board for music fans IV. Happenings - a "living" listing of new releases and upcoming events, shows and concerts. V. Backstage Pass - this is a preferred membership with required annual renewal at $15.95 which is still in development. Some of the features of Backstage Pass will be: -- access to Discfolio at no additional charge -- new release announcements by genre mailed to members -- a quarterly or monthly newsletter mailed to members -- members will earn points for prizes for every on-line purchase they make -- new, enhanced interactive games will be made available to members -- advance notice of upcoming musical events such as cybercasts Statements made in this press release, other than those concerning historical information, should be considered forward-looking and subject to various risks and uncertainties.

What planet are you from? You sound like someone who wouldn't know the truth if it flew up and hit you in the face. I don't know what country you are from, but try criticizing your leaders and see how long you live. Jewel

The resistance at 1195 is solid and I doubt this will break but your points I will like to answer..Iraqi and Syrian has more blood of their own babies and people on hand then any action of US. I will recall the son in laws of Saddam who were brought back and Koran was placed in between that no harm is done- the two son in laws which I know them as 'butchers of Kuwait' were eliminated with their young kids first night of their arrival in Iraq from Jordan. The daughters of Saddam were widowed by their own father the President made sure that no sign and offshoot remained alive, he ordered killing of his grandsons and the little sons of Kamal the personal driver turned Defense procurement minister were butchered true to Iraqi tradition.. Is this Islam or Iraq made of mockery of Islam to kill one own grandsons after swearing an oath on the most holy book was most recent act of how safe these children are from MR Saddam. Anwar Sadat was man of vision he broke that standing Arab tradition of missing no chance to miss an opportunity, Arafat is now following the foot steps of Sadat whom they called the renegade but after losing the entire west bank in 1967 to Israel. The piece of land they are getting now was conquered not in a distant past i.e 1967 war.. Now Palestine Authority is going to work under much stringent security environment...They could got a better peace in 1967... without all this elimination threats to destroy Israel they could by canceling this declaration of elimination obtained much better deal but true to their ‘selves' they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.. Since when Akhwans the killers of Sadat are US agents- don't tell me that even actions of Akhwans are US sponsored. Sadat was killed by Akhwans and for them enemy number 1 is US- so your point that Sadat was killed by US is a typical statement where origin of all sins and mistakes is responsibility of US.. Let me tell you had it not been for US not a single Bosnian Muslim would have escaped ethnic cleansing, Russian orthodoxy and its link with SERBS WOULD HAVE MADE SURE THAT THIS HISTORICAL mistake in Balkans of pockets of Muslim be eliminated once for all, the man who provided water to seiged town of Sarejovo during those eventful days was a jew- George Sorros-- Please set your record straight and stop abusing US for every thing wrong which happens in the Islamic world- it is the lack of democracy and totalitarianism which is responsible for our poor state of affairs lets own it for a change and stop abusing others for serious problems we have in our society.. continued when I will come back after my jogging... this is while I was running out of the house... thanks..
