Press Release Summary: BlueStar has signed a distribution agreement with Bartec to
distribute the company's rugged intrinsically safe (I-Safe) computers for use in
explosive-prone environments.

Press Release Body: Florence, KY-November 15, 2007-BlueStar, the leading innovator
in solutions-based distribution for Automatic Identification, Data Collection,
Point-of-Sale, Mobility and RFID technologies, is announcing an agreement for
BlueStar to sell Bartec rugged intrinsically safe (I-Safe) computers for use in
explosion-prone environments.

BlueStar will immediately begin distributing the Bartec MC9090Ex rugged mobile
computers and its NEMA enclosures for Wireless LAN communication technology. The
devices are certified for UL Class 1 Division 1 and ATEX Zone 1 environments.
I-Safe electrical equipment is designed to be unable to release sufficient energy,
by either thermal or electrical means, to cause ignition of flammable material (gas
or dust/particulates). Industries that require intrinsically safe devices include,
but are not limited to aerospace, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and petroleum.

"The partnership with Bartec is important to BlueStar and its partner community,"
explains Greg Seelbach, Director of Market Development. "The capabilities of Bartec
computers are essential to industries where hazardous and potentially explosive
products, such as petrochemicals, are prevalent. BlueStar's solutions-based approach
to distribution is a perfect match for the niche technology products made by
Bartec."

"We are proud to partner with BlueStar in our efforts to bring the 9090 I-Safe units
to market. Bartec has had great success the past two years marketing these units
alone. After visiting with the people at BlueStar and participating in their
VARTECH event, I am confident that this partnership will bring a higher level of
service to our customers. Both Bartec U.S. and BlueStar put the customer first, and
to us, that is what counts in business today," says Derek Hillman, President of
Bartec U.S.
