TRUMBULL, CT Jan 25, 2001

4SURE.com, Inc., a leading direct marketer with two focused business models: www.solutions4sure.com, which is dedicated to small to medium-sized businesses; and www.computers4sure.com, aimed at the SOHO and consumer markets, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire all assets of Computer.com. The acquisition is a small part of 4SURE.com's overall strategy established three years ago to become the premier destination for computer and technology products for businesses and consumers.

Founded in 1999, Computer.com positioned itself as the best site for novice computer users to visit for tips, recommendations and products. Featured on The Today Show and CNN as well as in the The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and USA Today, Computer.com gained national recognition when it spent much of its investment capital on advertising during last year's Super Bowl. The company built a base of over 40,000 customers.

"Computer.com held significant business in the consumer market," said Bruce Martin, President/CEO of 4SURE.com. "We hope to retain this customer base by providing a great shopping experience. Our goal is to delight every customer and exceed their expectations."

Martin added, "Pure e-commerce players have a tough road ahead. While our online catalogs for consumers and businesses offer a vast source of product information and help facilitate transactions, this vehicle is just one part of our business model. By itself, the Web will not take us the distance."

4SURE's online shopping tools such as their supplies finder, memory finder, product search and product comparison features has earned the company numerous awards. Gomez Internet Advisors, a leading website rating firm, ranked Computers4SURE.com #1 in ease of use in their most recent report.

4SURE.com just completed a record year with sales exceeding $120 million. During the critical fourth quarter 2000 time frame the company experienced revenue growth of 42.8 percent compared to the same period in 1999. Much of this success can be attributed to their focus of business, government and education (BGE). With over 100,000 active BGE customers, their Solutions4SURE.com subsidiary grew 89 percent during the same period.
