OS/2 Warp Sponsors First-Ever Grammy "Cybercast"

GET BACKSTAGE AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS WITH IBM'S OS/2 WARP

AUSTIN, Texas, February 27, 1995 ... IBM's OS/2 Warp will provide music
fans in 140 countries around the world a "virtual backstage pass" to the
hippest event in the pop music industry. This year, the 37th annual Grammy
Awards will be "cybercast" worldwide on March 1 via the Internet. While
Paul Reiser hosts the festivities onstage, Adam Curry, former video
jockey, will host the Grammy Awards cybercast backstage. Using OS/2 Warp,
Curry will provide cyberpunks virtual backstage access to the biggest
music party of the year. Online subscribers can join the Grammy domain on
the World Wide Web and "hang out backstage" while simultaneously watching
the CBS telecast.

"The Internet is opening up new opportunities for business and
entertainment, like giving net surfers unprecedented access to never
before seen backstage action at the Grammy Awards. And OS/2 Warp is just
about the easiest way to get on the Internet -- you just point and click
and you're there," said Curry.

OS/2 Warp's direct, comprehensive access to the Internet will provide the
easiest way to join the Grammy cybercast. Warp users can simply type
http://metaverse.com at the URL window on the Internet's World Wide Web.
Net surfers who don't have Warp yet can also use an online service or
alternate Internet provider to access the World Wide Web for the Grammy
cybercast.

system. It features impressive new usability features, slimmed-down system
requirements and comes with a BonusPak of more than a dozen exploitive
OS/2 applications, including easy access to Internet and CompuServe. OS/2
Warp comes preloaded on systems from the IBM PC Company, Toshiba, CompuAdd
and 200 other PC manufacturers, and Dell offers Warp as a preload option
to customers when they order PCs.
