    SANFORD, Fla., Sept. 16 -- Miracom Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: MIRM), the holding company for parts.com(TM) (an
e-commerce shopping site for the sale of auto parts) and MiraTouch.com (the
only real-time data gathering medium), today announced the appointment of Ian
Hart, 35, to the newly created position of Chief Financial Officer of Miracom
Corporation, effective October 1999.  Mr. Hart's responsibilities will include
overseeing accounting, tax and SEC compliance, equity and debt financing
activities, cash management and insurance for the Company.  The Company also
announced that it expects to begin filing its financial reports, including
those on Form 10-K and 10-Q, with the SEC in early October.
    "Ian has a solid understanding of corporate finance and management and
possesses keen insight into financial structuring.  In addition to his day-to-
day responsibilities, he will be spearheading our efforts to rapidly move
forward with a number of initiatives designed to enhance shareholder value,
including our initial filings with the SEC as well as our anticipated listing
on Nasdaq," said Shawn Lucas, Chairman and Co-CEO of Miracom Corporation.
"With the expected launch of the final stage of parts.com in the next couple
of weeks together with our initial filing with the SEC, Miracom is positioned
to receive greater exposure from the investment and media communities,"
concluded Mr. Lucas.
    Mr. Hart, a CPA, has extensive experience in accounting and corporate
finance for both public and privately held companies.  From 1998 to present,
Mr. Hart served as the Chief Financial Officer for a Nasdaq small-cap
Southern California-based company, where he helped to facilitate the company's
financial and operational turnaround.  Prior to working at the listed company,
he served as the Chief Financial Officer of a private computer network
corporation where he helped negotiate its sale.  From 1996 to 1998, he served
as Chief Financial Officer for a near-bankrupt electrical subcontractor where
he helped begin the company's financial turnaround.  Prior to that, Mr. Hart
worked as a retail financial consultant with Merrill Lynch where he
immediately built a $30 million customer asset base.  From 1986 to 1992, Mr.
