Business Editors/Technology Writers

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2001

Network Computing Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: NCDI), a leading supplier of thin client information access and management products, today announced that Camping World, the world's largest retailer of recreational vehicle (RV) accessories, supplies and services, has deployed NCD's entire suite of ThinSTAR and ThinPATH products to support the company's daily operations.

A 350 million dollar company with 30 retail locations nationwide, Camping World chose NCD for the easy administration and superior management that NCD's hardware and software products offer when deployed together. All of Camping World's retail stores are now connected to the company's headquarters using NCD's products via a WAN. NCD's products were also easily deployed when Camping World recently opened a new RV dealership, which required additions to its network.

In order to create a network that met Camping World's ever-expanding needs, the company worked with NCD Value Added Reseller (VAR) S. B. Stone & Company to deploy NCD ThinSTAR 200 devices in its stores and corporate offices. Additionally, Camping World plans to install NCD ThinSTAR 300 and 400 devices throughout other areas of its organizations such as RV dealerships and training classrooms.

The company currently has deployed NCD's ThinPATH Manager which enables large numbers of thin client PCs, WBTs and Windows NT servers to be centrally administered as easily as a single machine; ThinPATH Desktop Mirror which enables remote, centralized desktop support for Windows Terminal Server Edition installations on PCs and NCD ThinSTARs and ThinPATH Connect, which provides access from PCs and WBTs to virtually any legacy host and to UNIX and Linux servers, allowing smooth transition from existing applications to new thin client systems. Camping World's IT staff easily installed the units. S.B. Stone and Company has assisted Camping World throughout the most recent installation process.

"Camping World's support efforts have been greatly reduced, and we have realized a significant cost savings since switching from a PC-based environment to a network utilizing NCD's thin client devices and software," stated Matthew Keyser, technical team leader, Camping World. "We are very satisfied with our decision to deploy NCD's solutions."
