MIAMI COMPUTER SUPPLY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
NASDAQ TRADING SYMBOL CHANGE TO "MCSI"
DAYTON, OH -- FEBRUARY 18, 2000 -- MIAMI COMPUTER SUPPLY CORPORATION
(NASDAQ: MCSC) (the Company) today announced that its Nasdaq National Market
Symbol will change to "MCSI" on February 23, 2000.
The Company said that the former symbol, MCSC, will be abandoned
simultaneously with the change to the new symbol. The Company is currently
conducting business under the name "MCSi."
Commenting on the change in symbol, Miami Computer Supply Corporation
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael E. Peppel, said,
"MCSi, which stands for "Media Consultants and Systems Integrators," more
appropriately reflects the direction that the company is taking. Based on
annualized revenues, we are now the largest advanced systems integrator of
visual communications products and services in North America. Miami Computer
Supply Corporation is beginning a new brand identity campaign using our
trademarked logo MCSi and thus, listing under the symbol MCSi will help us
accomplish this very important goal."
In this time of video, voice and data convergence, the technology
industry is being redefined, creating new issues for businesses confronted
with an overwhelming mix of products and information. MCSi's direct focus is
on the unique combined benefits of computer technology and visual
communications. From traditional audio-visual and presentation products to
high-end broadcast and video-conferencing products, MCSi designs and builds
customized solutions for each of its clients. By combining a full range of
responsive and flexible services and multi-vendor integration expertise, MCSi
offers innovative and dependable answers for the computer technology and
visual communications needs of business nationwide.
Miami Computer Supply Corporation is a reseller of computer products and
accessories and a reseller and integrator of audio-visual products and systems
throughout the United States, Canada and in certain foreign countries. Miami
Computer Supply Corporation resells over 1,800 core products primarily to

including federal, state and local governmental agencies, universities and
