KIOSK INFORMATION SYSTEMS Newsletter

<http://www.kis-kiosk.com/newsletters/images/mcd-counter.jpg> Welcome
to the August edition of the KIS newsletter. Since our prior edition
we've had nothing but good news. In May 2004 we picked up seven awards
at the industry KioskCom show held in Las Vegas. We also were awarded
the 2004 Vertical Market Penetration Leadership award by Frost and
Sullivan, a very prestigious research firm.

Whether it be POS COE terminals, Security biometric stations, Assisted
Shopping, Music Download, Photo kiosks, Bill Payment, Ticketing, HR
Employees to Job Applications and Gaming, KIS can help equip your
company for unattended self-service.
