MicroTouch Announces Partnership With Teletraining Systems for Ibid Digital Whiteboard in Distance Education Classroom METHUEN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 1999--MicroTouch Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTSI - news) today announced a partnership with Teletraining Systems, Inc. The Teletraining Institute, a division of Teletraining Systems, is the leading provider of training for distance education. MicroTouch's Ibid 600 digital whiteboard will be used by the Teletraining Institute in offering its distance education training courses to educators and corporate trainers on how to create their own technology-based training.

''Our partnership with MicroTouch allows us to demonstrate in our courses how the Ibid digital whiteboard works and can benefit trainers. Moreover, students will have the opportunity to work with it and incorporate it into their presentations which are a major part of the training courses we offer in our Training Center,'' said Lorne A. Parker, Teletraining President and CEO. biz.yahoo.com A little more good news?? Marc
