Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Information-Highway.com, Inc. (the "Company")
in connection with the filing of the above-referenced Registration Statement
(the "Registration Statement") relating to the registration of 500,000 shares
(the "Shares") of Common Stock, no par value per share, of the Company issuable

(the "Plan"). In connection therewith, we have reviewed the Company's Articles
of Incorporation, Bylaws, minutes of appropriate meetings, a copy of the Plan
and such other matters we deemed appropriate.
Based on that review, it is our opinion that the Shares will be, when sold

issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to all references to our firm included in or made a
part of the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
Vandeberg Johnson & Gandara
