MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 2002--TigerDirect (a subsidiary of Systemax Inc. (NYSE:SYX - News)) has announced the availability of the Hewlett Packard Digital Sender 8100C, the e-mail appliance designed to enhance office communication in today's integrated workplace. This machine replaces the fax by delivering documents directly into the recipients in-box -- at a price of only $399.99 at http://www.tigerdirect.com/dsender/.

The HP Digital Sender 8100C is a network appliance that sends up to 25 color or black-and-white hardcopy pages to any e-mail address or fax location in minutes.

Easily configured and simple to use, the HP Digital Sender 8100C meets the needs of today's fast-paced office environments. The HP Digital Sender 8100C offers faster speeds and better quality than faxed documents and is more cost-effective than postal delivery or courier services.
