                                                       - 6 -

This Amendment No. 1 (the  "Amendment")  amends and supplements the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO filed by Interactive Systems, Inc. ("ISI"), relating to
the offer by ISI to purchase all of the outstanding  shares of Common Stock, par
value $0.001 per share (the "Common Shares"), of CSI Computer Specialists,  Inc.
(the "Company") at a purchase price of $1.00 per Common Share, net to the seller
in cash (less any required withholding taxes), upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the offer to purchase,  dated April 26, 2000 (the "Offer
to  Purchase")  and in  the  related  letter  of  transmittal  (the  "Letter  of
Transmittal,"  which,  together  with  the  Offer to  Purchase,  as  amended  or
supplemented from time to time, collectively constitute the "Offer"),  copies of
which were previously filed as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(2) to the Schedule TO. By
this  Amendment,  Mr.  Donald C. Weymer has been added as a bidder.  Capitalized
terms not defined herein have the meanings  assigned thereto in the Schedule TO,
including the Offer to Purchase.

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 9, 11 AND 13.

         Items 1 through 9, 11 and 13 of the Schedule TO, which are incorporated
by reference to the information  contained in the Offer to Purchase,  are hereby
amended as follows:

(1)      The following  language is hereby added to "SUMMARY OF THE OFFER" after
         the second  sentence under "CAN THE OFFER BE EXTENDED AND HOW WILL I BE
         NOTIFIED  IF THE  OFFER  IS  EXTENDED?"  on page  iii of the  Offer  to
         Purchase:

         "The Offer must be extended  for five  business  days in the event that
         there is a material  change to the terms of the Offer and ten  business
         days if there is a change in price,  amount  of Common  Shares  sought,
         dealer's soliciting fee, or other similar significant change."

(2)      The following  language is hereby added to "SUMMARY OF THE OFFER" after
         the first  sentence  under "ARE THERE ANY  CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER?" on
         page iii of the Offer to Purchase:

         "All of the conditions to the Offer,  other than  necessary  government
         approvals,  must either be satisfied or waived prior to the  expiration
         of the Offer."

(3)      The following  language is hereby added to "SUMMARY OF THE OFFER" after
         the first  sentence  under "WHAT DOES THE COMPANY'S  BOARD OF DIRECTORS
         THINK OF THE OFFER?" on page iv of the Offer to Purchase:

         "In addition to evaluating  these  substantive  factors,  the Company's
         Board of Directors  also  considered  retaining a financial  advisor to
         determine  the  fairness  of  the   transaction  to  the   unaffiliated
         stockholders. The Company's Board of Directors ultimately decided that,
         given the Company's  poor financial  condition,  it would not be in the
         best interests of the Company or its  stockholders to incur the cost of
         a financial advisor. The Company's Board of Directors believes that its
         evaluation  process was a fair one because it involved one  independent
         director who is not employed by the Company, owns no Common Shares and,
         thus, cannot participate in the Offer. The Company's Board of Directors
         took no other steps to ensure the procedural and  substantive  fairness
         of the transaction to the unaffiliated stockholders."

(4)      The  following  new bullet  point is hereby  added to  "SUMMARY  OF THE
         OFFER"  immediately after the first bullet point under "WILL THERE BE A
         SUBSEQUENT OFFERING PERIOD?" on page iv of the Offer to Purchase:

         "        - If we elect to provide a subsequent offering period, we will
                  amend the Offer and  disseminate  the new  information  to the
                  Company's  stockholders at least five business days before the
                  expiration of the Offer.  See Section 1, page 9 for additional
                  information."

(5)      The  following  new bullet  point is hereby  added to  "SUMMARY  OF THE
         OFFER" as the last  bullet  point  under  "WILL  THERE BE A  SUBSEQUENT
         OFFERING PERIOD?" on page iv of the Offer to Purchase:

" - We will  immediately  accept and promptly pay for all Common  Shares as they
are  tendered  in the  subsequent  offering  period.  See  Section 1, page 9 for
further details."

(6)      The  following  language is hereby  added to the end of the next to the
         last  paragraph  under  "SPECIAL  FACTORS - BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER" on
         page 4 of the Offer to Purchase:

         "In addition,  the Company  advised us that its Board of Directors also
         considered  retaining a financial  advisor to determine the fairness of
         the transaction to the  unaffiliated  stockholders of the Company.  The
         Company advised us that its Board of Directors ultimately decided that,
         given the Company's  poor financial  condition,  it would not be in the
         best interests of the Company or its  stockholders to incur the cost of
         a  financial  advisor.  The  Company  informed  us that  its  Board  of
         Directors  believes that its evaluation  process was a fair one because
         it involved one independent director, Mr. David A. Chappell, who is not
         employed  by the  Company,  owns no Common  Shares  and,  thus,  cannot
         participate  in the Offer (see "Special  Factors - Interests of Certain
         Persons,"  pages 5 and 6).  Finally,  the  Company  advised us that its
         Board of  Directors  took no other steps to ensure the  procedural  and
         substantive   fairness   of  the   transaction   to  the   unaffiliated
         stockholders."

(7) The last paragraph under "SPECIAL  FACTORS - PURPOSE AND PLANS" on page 5 of
the Offer to Purchase is hereby  deleted in its entirety  and replaced  with the
following:

         "This Offer was not designed to be a "going private  transaction" under
         the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the  "Exchange  Act")
         because each class of the equity  securities  of the Company is already
         held by less than 300 holders of record.  In addition,  the Company has
         advised us that it does not intend to file a Form 15 to  terminate  its
         registration under the Exchange Act unless all of the Common Shares are
         tendered  pursuant to the Offer. If there is full  participation in the
         Offer,  the Company and ISI will take the  appropriate  steps to delist
         the Common  Shares  from the OTCBB.  On the other  hand,  if all of the
         Common Shares are not tendered,  the Company intends to remain a public
         company and to continue to file  periodic  reports,  and to satisfy the
         other  requirements  under the Exchange  Act, so that the Common Shares
         will  remain  listed on the OTCBB.  Under the rules of the  OTCBB,  the
         Company must remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act in order
         for the Common Shares to remain listed on the OTCBB."

(8) The  language  under "THE OFFER - TERMS OF THE OFFER -  SUBSEQUENT  OFFERING
PERIOD"  (Section 1) on page 9 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:

         "We reserve the right,  in accordance with the rules and regulations of
         the SEC, to provide a subsequent offering period of three business days
         to 20 business days after the expiration of the initial offering period
         and our purchase of the Common Shares tendered.  A subsequent  offering
         period  would give the  Company  stockholders  who do not tender in the
         initial  offering  period  another  opportunity  to tender their Common
         Shares  and  receive  the same  Offer  price.  If we elect to provide a
         subsequent offering period, we will amend the Offer and disseminate the
         new  information to the Company's  stockholders  at least five business
         days before the  expiration  of the initial  offering  period.  We will
         announce the results of the Offer, including the approximate number and
         percentage of Common Shares deposited to date, no later than 9:00 a.m.,
         Eastern Time, on the next  business day after the  Expiration  Date and
         immediately begin the subsequent offering period. During the subsequent
         offering  period,  Company  stockholders  will not  have  the  right to
         withdraw the Common Shares  previously  tendered or tendered during the
         subsequent  offering  period.  We  will  also  immediately  accept  and
         promptly  pay  for  all  Common  Shares  as they  are  tendered  in the
         subsequent offering period."

(9) The third to the last paragraph  under "THE OFFER - CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER"
(Section  10) on page 21 of the  Offer to  Purchase  is  hereby  deleted  in its
entirety and replaced with the following:

         "The  foregoing  conditions  are for the sole  benefit of ISI.  ISI may
         assert the failure of any of the  conditions  which,  in the reasonable
         judgment of ISI in any such case, and  regardless of the  circumstances
         (other than any  circumstance  arising solely by any action or inaction
         by ISI)  giving  rise to any  such  failure,  makes it  inadvisable  to
         proceed with such acceptance for payment.  The conditions may be waived
         by ISI in whole or in part at any time.  The failure by ISI at any time
         to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of
         any such right,  and each such right  shall be deemed an ongoing  right
         that may be asserted at any time."

(10)     The following new paragraph is hereby added immediately before the last
         paragraph  under "THE OFFER  CONDITIONS  TO THE OFFER"  (Section 10) on
         page 21 of the Offer to Purchase:

         "All of the conditions to the Offer,  other than  necessary  government
         approvals,  must either be satisfied or waived prior to the  expiration
         of the Offer."
