A LITTLE NEWS... ObjectSoft's FastTake Video Kiosk Useful and Popular; Disney's 'A Bug's Life' Most Requested Video Trailer PR Newswire - May 06, 1999 07:44 HACKENSACK, N.J., May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- ObjectSoft Corporation (Nasdaq: OSFT) today announced that it has 100 FastTake video kiosks installed or on-order. In addition, the company announced that kiosks already installed in retail locations were used 30,000 times during the month of April. The top three requested movie trailers for the month of April were: -- Walt Disney's "A Bugs Life" (434 viewings) (NYSE: DIS) -- Trimark's "Another Day in Paradise" (222 viewings) -- HBO's "Ambushed" (111 viewings) (NYSE: TWX) Other top viewed trailers were "101 Dalmatians", "At First Sight", "Knights of Ramune: Blast Off", "Rugrats: The Movie", "Happiness" and "Varsity Blues". "Two Thirds of the FastTake Top 10" were not new releases," said George J. Febish, ObjectSoft's president and Co-CEO. "This validates the role of FastTake in increasing retailer's revenues for popular and older titles." "ObjectSoft has also received several serious inquiries from national advertisers regarding product promotion in traditional and new media forms on the FastTake," said Febish. "FastTake is becoming a new way to target products to in-store customers." Initial feedback from comments left by consumers at individual FastTake locations have been nothing short of outstanding. Sample comments have included: -- "This is great! Hope all other Blockbuster Video Stores offer this!" -- "I really like FastTake! It is very easy to use and it has the movies I wanted." "Keep this here. It's a good idea." -- "I love it. It helps me a lot." -- "It makes finding a movie easy." -- "I think this thing is very cool. It works very good and it is helpful. I have been coming here for awhile, and I like this. It helps." "Pilot orders have been received for all 100 units that have been manufactured so far and the Company is on track to install four hundred units by the end of 1999," said David E. Y. Sarna, CEO of ObjectSoft. ObjectSoft intends to continue to issue monthly reports about kiosk installations and usage on its website at objectsoftcorp.net throughout 1999.
