Press Release Summary: Olea Inc. a designer and manufacturer of Interactive
Self-Service Kiosks, announced it has produced a "Green" kiosk that is made from an
organic waste material. The kiosk is to debut at the 97th Annual National Retail
Federation (NRF) Convention and Expo in New York this January.

Press Release Body: The kiosk will be running Experticity's On-screen Expert
software and will be powered by IBM's latest generation IBM AnyPlace Kiosk.

The kiosks main structure is built entirely of an engineered panel made from Sorghum
plant. Sorghum plant is grown around the world for food production. The plant stalks
are dried, and heat pressed using a non-toxic adhesive to form the board product.
The stalks of the plant are not used in food production and would otherwise be
thrown away.

While at this time Olea has no plans to put the kiosk into production it is hoping
to spark
an interest in the self-service industry to start thinking green. "On a daily basis
we recycle
all of our cardboard, plastics, and other waste products here at Olea. We feel that
this
new kiosk is a very innovative step in the right direction showing retailers and
other companies that it is possible to go high tech green at the same time," said
Frank Olea Vice President of Olea Inc.

The kiosk can be seen in IBM's booth in the Green Pavilion at NRF January 14-15 in
New York.

Olea Inc. is a privately held Kiosk designer and manufacturer based in Los Angeles
California. Olea has been in business for 33 years and specializes in mid to high
end kiosks in all quantities.
