FIRST-EVER LIST OF THE 5,000 FASTEST-GROWING BUSINESSES REPORTS TOTAL REVENUE OF $194.5 BILLION

Personal Computer Systems, Inc. (PCS) Ranks No. 4,311 on the 2007 Inc. 5,000 With Three-Year Sales Growth of 50.4%
NEW YORK, September 7, 2007 – Inc. today ranked Personal Computer Systems, Inc. (PCS) on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.

“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media.”

“It is no mistake that we are growing the way we are,” commented Ed Waldroop, PCS CEO. “We have built a dedicated team of individuals who have our customers’ interests in mind every day. That level of commitment earns customer loyalty, and we are grateful for that loyalty.”

Maryville City Schools has worked with PCS since the company's inception in 1996. We have always been pleased with the quality of their products, the quickness of their delivery after placing orders, and the service and customer support they provide. Their sales staff have always been responsive to our needs and are continuing to stay on the cutting edge of technology, offering many products and services. Thanks, PCS!"
