ADVISORY...for Tuesday (Oct. 15)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHO:              SimDesk Technologies Inc. (formerly Internet Access
                  Technologies Inc.)

WHAT:             Rally to Show Support of the SimHouston Project

WHERE/WHEN:       Tuesday, October 15, 2002
                  10 A.M., CST
                  City Hall Annex Building (901 Bagby; Houston, Texas)

WHY:              A special City Council meeting has been called on
                  Tuesday, October 15, 2002 at 1 p.m. to vote on
                  whether a contract between the City of Houston and
                  SimDesk Technologies (formerly Internet Access
                  Technologies) should be removed. Should city council
                  vote to cancel this contract, SimHouston would no
                  longer be available to Houston residents and SimDesk
                  would have to disconnect 62,500 users from their
                  accounts and discard over 250,000 stored documents.

                  --  SimHouston bridges the digital divide because it
                      provides access to people who otherwise could
