TechnologyPioneer.com announces grand opening

CYBERSPACE - The Internet - November 10, 2000 - TechnologyPioneer.com, the leading Internet destination for technology pioneers and proven technology giants, today announced the grand opening of the TechnologyPioneer.com web destination. Terms of the opening were not disclosed.

The TechnologyPioneer.com web site will allow TechnologyPioneer.com to continue expanding the web portal resources it provides for technology pioneers, while also promoting TechnologyPioneer.com's expansion into the lucrative TPSP (Technology Pioneer Service Provider) market. TechnologyPioneer.com expects up to 37% of fiscal 2001's revenue to come from TSPS transactions.

TechnologyPioneer.com's technology pioneer portal will feature the guidance and advice of technology pioneer and proven technology giant Carl Samos. Through a non-binding, non-exclusive, non-disclosed and unsigned agreement, Samos will answer questions and write articles on being a technology pioneer, as well as direct and participate in the JTPA, the Junior Technology Pioneers of America.

Samos was previously co-founder and CTO of KnowItAll, Inc., which in October reached an agreement (subject to certain conditions to closing and to a pending recount in certain counties in Florida) to be acquired by Answers.com. He was also previously a member of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) where he was lord overseer of the Mosaic project, the famous World Wide Web browser. The most notable company to license Mosaic was Microsoft, which utilized the software code to create Internet Explorer.

Through a non-disclosed and non-executed agreement with IBM, TechnologyPioneer.com will host the TechnologyPioneer.com portal on the same massive IBM RS/6000 SP servers that hosted the 2000 Sydney Olympics web site*. This kind of massive web hosting power will allow TechnologyPioneer.com to best serve the needs of technology pioneers worldwide.

The TechnologyPioneer.com web destination marks a new and exciting period in the development of TechnologyPioneer.com. "I believe that the opening of the TechnologyPioneer.com site will mark a new and exciting period in the development of TechnologyPioneer.com," said the CEO and Chairman of TechnologyPioneer.com, who declined to be identified by name, citing pending litigation.
