Registered Trademark for "TV Miles" Secured, Modern Computer Systems to Launch First Interactive CD-Rom Gaming Magazine MIAMI (April 5) BUSINESS WIRE -April 5, 1999--Management of Modern Computer Systems Inc. (OTC BB:MODS), is pleased to announce the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary iC Television Inc. (iC-TV), has secured the registered trademark for "TV Miles" in anticipation of the international launch of iC-TV's innovative product line of interactive CD-Rom live video gaming magazines. Similar to Air Miles for frequent flyers, TV Miles is a key concept behind the Company's sophisticated CD-Rom gaming magazines, which reward consumers for their participation in promotional games, quizzes and questionnaires provided by sponsors in a live video format on CD-Rom. The Gaming Guide Magazine, updated monthly, will provide the next generation of consumers with virtual accounts on their home PC computers. Participants will collect cash or TV Miles credits during game play and apply electronically to a transactional identity-secure website to claim their accumulated credits. iC-TV will then analyze and compare results on its web database, calculate balances and send a TV Miles Smart Card to the participant. The Smart Cards can be used by consumers in upcoming interactive television programming, currently being developed by iC-TV. Sponsors of the CD-Rom games and interactive TV quiz programs reward consumers on a pay-per-play basis. In return, sponsors receive a mineable database of important consumer information and viewer profiles, invaluable in developing their marketing strategies.
