covenants set forth in this Agreement, and in further consideration of
Employee's employment as President and Chief Executive Officer with Employer,
the compensation paid to him by Employer,  and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Employee hereby agrees as follows:

                                 1. Definitions

1.1 "Competing Business" means any business whose efforts are in competition
with the efforts of Employer. A Competing Business includes any business whose
efforts involve any research and development, products or services in
competition with products or services which are, during and at the end of the
Term, either (a) produced, marketed or otherwise commercially exploited by
Employer or (b) in actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development by
Employer.

1.2 "Confidential Information" means any information that (a) relates to the
business of Employer, (b) is not generally available to the public, and (c) is
conceived, compiled, developed, discovered or received by, or made available to,
Employee during the Term, whether solely or jointly with others, and whether or
not while engaged in performing work for Employer. Confidential Information
includes information, both written and oral, relating to Inventions, trade
secrets and other proprietary information, technical data, products, services,
finances, business plans, marketing plans, legal affairs, suppliers, clients,
prospects, opportunities, contracts or assets of Employer. Confidential
Information also includes any information which has been made available to
Employer by or with respect to third parties and which Employer is obligated to
keep confidential.

1.3 "Invention" means any product, device, technique, know-how, computer
program, algorithm, method, process, procedure, improvement, discovery or
invention, whether or not patentable or copyrightable and whether or not reduced
to practice, that (a) is within the scope of Employer's business, research or
investigations or results from or is suggested by any work performed by Employee

discovered, invented or made by Employee during the Term, whether solely or
jointly with others, while engaged in performing work for Employer.

1.4 "Material" means any product, prototype, model, document, diskette, tape,

1.5 "Person" means any corporation, partnership, trust, association,
governmental authority, educational institution, individual or other entity.

1.6 "Proprietary Right" means any patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark,
trade name, service mark, maskwork or other protected intellectual property
right in any Confidential Information, Invention or Material.

1.7 "Term" means the term of Employee's employment with Employer, whether on a
full-time, part-time or consulting basis.

                             2. Ownership and Use

2.2 Employee assigns and transfers, and agrees to assign and transfer, to
Employer all rights and ownership that Employee has or will have in Confidential
Information, Inventions, Materials and Proprietary Rights, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 2.5 and in the notice below. Employee will take
such action (including signature and assistance in preparation of documents or
the giving of testimony) as may be requested by Employer to evidence, transfer,
vest or confirm Employer's rights and ownership in Confidential Information,
Inventions, Materials and Proprietary Rights. Employee agrees to keep and
maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions and Proprietary
Rights during the Term. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches,
drawings, and any other format that may be specified by Employer. The records
will be available to and remain the sole property of Employer at all times.

     If Employer is unable for any reason to secure Employee's signature to
fulfill the intent of the foregoing paragraph or to apply for or to pursue any
application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations
covering Inventions assigned to Employer above, then Employee irrevocably
appoints Employer and its authorized agents as his agent and attorney in fact,
to transfer, vest or confirm Employer's rights and to execute and file any such
applications and to do all other lawful acts to further the prosecution and
issuance of letters patent or copyright registrations with the same legal force
as if done by Employee.

authorized in writing by Employer, Employee will not (a) use, disclose, publish
or distribute any Confidential Information, Inventions, Materials or Proprietary
Rights or (b) remove any Materials from Employer's premises.

Agreement and the performance of his other obligations and duties to Employer

all prior agreements now in effect under which Employee has agreed to keep

This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement"), dated as of November 26, 1999
between AbsoluteFuture.com, a Nevada corporation ("Employer"), and William
Antony McNamara, an individual ("Employee");

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Employer desires to retain the services of Employee upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, Employee conceived and has partially developed, prior to entering
employment with Employer or any of its subsidiaries, computer software and/or
programs to which the parties refer as the Local Hard Drive Product, all rights
in and to which Local Hard Drive Product Employer desires to obtain; and

WHEREAS, Employee is willing to provide services to Employer and to assign to
Employer all rights in and to the Local Hard Drive Product upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein;

A G R E E M E N T S:

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other
good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby
acknowledged, Employer and Employee hereby agree as follows:

EMPLOYMENT

Employer will employ Employee and Employee will accept employment by Employer as
its Chief Technical Officer upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

ATTENTION, EFFORT AND DUTIES

Attention and Effort
Employee will devote all of his entire productive time, ability, attention and
effort to Employer's business and will skillfully serve its interests during the
term of this Agreement; provided, however, that Employee may devote reasonable
periods of time to (a) engaging in personal investment activities, (b) serving
on the Board of Directors of other corporations, if such service would not
otherwise be prohibited by paragraph 8 hereof, and (c) engaging in charitable or
community service activities, so long as none of the foregoing additional
activities materially interfere with Employee's duties as Chief Technical
Officer.

Duties
The Chief Technical Officer has a leadership role with respect to all technical
operations and developments in Employer's business.  The duties of the Chief
Technical Officer shall include, without limitation, reporting to the Chief
Executive Officer from time to time and as requested; coordinating with the
Chief Executive Officer and the Director of Business Development with respect to
projects for clients of Employer; developing and supervising others in
developing software for use in Employer's products and projects; performing and
supervising implementation of quality control with respect to products and
project implementation; advising Employer with respect to technology
acquisitions; and ensuring that Employer's technical, mechanical and computer
systems are operating as expected.

TERM

Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Agreement,
Employee's term of employment under this Agreement shall begin on November 26,
1999, and expire on November 26, 2000.

COMPENSATION

During the term of this Agreement, Employer agrees to pay or cause to be paid to
Employee, and Employee agrees to accept in exchange for the services rendered
hereunder by him, the following compensation:

Salary
Employee's compensation shall consist of an annual salary of ninety-two thousand
dollars ($92,000) before all legally required payroll deductions and voluntary
payroll deductions, if any, authorized by Employee.  Such annual salary shall be
paid in substantially equal installments and at the same intervals as other
executive employees of Employer are paid.

One-Time Grant of Stock Effective Upon Execution of Agreement
Subject to action by Employer's Board of Directors and in compliance with
applicable state and federal securities laws, upon execution of this Agreement
by both parties, Employer shall grant Employee 200,000 shares of Employer's
restricted common stock.  The grant of stock described in this sub-paragraph
shall be a one-time event and shall not be construed to represent part of
Employee's annual salary described in sub-paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement.
Employee shall be responsible for all withholding and/or other tax consequences
to him arising from the grant described in this paragraph.
<PAGE>

BENEFITS

During the term of this Agreement, Employee will be entitled to participate,
subject to and in accordance with applicable eligibility requirements, in fringe
benefit programs as shall be provided from time to time by Employer to its
executive employees.  Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Employer from
terminating, altering or modifying any such benefit at any time in Employer's
sole discretion.

TERMINATION

Employment of Employee pursuant to this Agreement may be terminated as follows,
but in any case, the provisions of the Noncompetition Agreement referred to in
paragraph 8 hereto shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
termination of Employee's employment hereunder:

By Employer
With or without Cause (as defined below), Employer may terminate the employment
of Employee at any time during the term of employment upon giving Notice of
Termination (as defined below).

By Employee
Employee may terminate his employment at any time, for any reason, upon giving
Notice of Termination.
Automatic Termination

This Agreement and Employee's employment hereunder shall terminate automatically
upon the death or total disability of Employee.  The term "total disability" as
used herein shall mean Employee's inability to perform the duties of the Chief
Technical Officer for a period or periods aggregating 120 calendar days in any
12-month period as a result of physical or mental illness, loss of legal
capacity or any other cause beyond Employee's control, unless Employee is
granted a leave of absence by Employer.  Employee and Employer hereby
acknowledge that Employee's ability to perform the duties specified in paragraph
1 hereof is of the essence of this Agreement. Termination hereunder shall be
deemed to be effective (a) at the end of the calendar month in which Employee's
death occurs or (b) immediately upon a determination by Employer of Employee's
total disability, as defined herein.

Notice
The term "Notice of Termination" shall mean at least 90 days' written notice of
termination of Employee's employment, during which period Employee's employment
and performance of services will continue; provided, however, that Employer may,
upon notice to Employee and without reducing Employee's compensation during such
period, excuse Employee from any or all of his duties during such period.  The
effective date of the termination of Employee's employment hereunder shall be
the date on which such 90-day period expires.

TERMINATION PAYMENTS

In the event of termination of the employment of Employee, all compensation and
benefits set forth in this Agreement shall terminate except as specifically
provided in this paragraph 7:

Termination by Employer
If Employer terminates Employee's employment without Cause prior to the end of
the term of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to receive (a)
termination payments equal to three (3) months' annual salary; and (b) any
unpaid annual salary which has accrued for services already performed as of the
date termination of Employee's employment becomes effective.  If Employee is
terminated by Employer for Cause, Employee shall not be entitled to receive any
of the foregoing benefits, other than those set forth in clause (b) above.

Termination by Employee
In the case of the termination of Employee's employment by Employee, Employee
shall not be entitled to any payments hereunder, other than those set forth in
clause (b) of subparagraph 7.1 hereof.

Expiration of Term
In the case of a termination of Employee's employment as a result of the
expiration of the term of this Agreement, Employee shall not be entitled to
receive any payments hereunder, other than those set forth in clause (b) of
subparagraph 7.1 hereof.

Payment Schedule
All payments under this paragraph 7 shall be made to Employee at the same
interval as payments of salary were made to Employee immediately prior to
termination.

Cause
Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to termination being with or
without Cause, "Cause" shall include, without limitation, the occurrence of one
or more of the following events:

(a) Failure or refusal to carry out the lawful duties of Employee as Chief
Technical Officer of Employer or to carry out any directions of Employer, which
directions are reasonably consistent with the duties of the Chief Technical
Officer of Employer;

(b) Violation by Employee of a state or federal criminal law involving the
commission of a crime against Employer or a felony;
<PAGE>

(c) Use by Employee during the term of this agreement of illegal controlled
substances; deception, fraud, misrepresentation or dishonesty by Employee; any
incident materially compromising Employee's reputation or ability to represent
Employer with the public; any act or omission by Employee which impairs
Employer's business, good will or reputation; or

(d) Any other material violation of any provision of this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIALITY, INVENTIONS, NONSOLICITATION AND NONCOMPETITION

Employee hereby enters into and agrees to be bound by the Confidential
Information, Invention, Nonsolicitation and Noncompetition Agreement (the
"Noncompetition Agreement") attached hereto.  In the event of a breach of or
threatened breach by Employee of the provisions of the Noncompetition Agreement,
Employer shall be entitled to immediately terminate Employee's right to receive
any and all payments which may be due or become due under the terms of this
Agreement, it being acknowledged that the provisions of this paragraph 8 and of
the Noncompetition Agreement are essential to Employer, and that Employer would
not enter into this Agreement if it did not include this paragraph 8 and the
Noncompetition Agreement incorporated hereby.  Nothing in this paragraph 8 shall
be construed to limit Employer's entitlement to any other remedies or relief set
forth, including, without limitation, such remedies and relief as are referred
to in the Noncompetition Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce Employer to enter into this Agreement, Employee represents
and warrants to Employer that neither the execution nor the performance of this
Agreement or the Noncompetition Agreement by Employee will violate or conflict
in any way with any other agreement by which Employee may be bound, or with any
other duties imposed upon Employee by corporate or other statutory or common
law.

and warrants to Employer that to the best of Employee's knowledge:  (a) the
Local Hard Drive Product does not infringe or misappropriate any patent,
copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party; (b)
Employee is sole owner of, and possessor of all rights in and to, the Local Hard
Drive Product, and (c) Employee has all necessary rights to assign the Local
Hard Drive Product to Employer hereunder, and such assignment will not violate
any agreement or other obligation of Employee to any third party.  Employee will
indemnify and hold harmless Employer against any claim that Employer's transfer
or use of the Local Hard Drive Product infringes or misappropriates any patent,
copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party, or
otherwise breaches any representation or warranty of Employee under this Section
10.1.

Entitlement to Royalties
In partial consideration for Employee's agreement to assign to Employer all
rights in and to the Local Hard Drive Product, effective upon execution of this

percent (12.5 %) of Employer's gross receipts on sales, leases or other
transfers of the Local Hard Drive Product or rights to use the Local Hard Drive
Product to third parties.

Assignment of Rights
For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, Employee hereby assigns and transfers, and agrees to assign
and transfer, to Employer all right title and interest (including, without
limitation, any and all copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret and other
intellectual property or proprietary rights of any kind, including rights of
registration) in and to the Local Hard Drive Product defined in paragraph ___
hereto.

Additional Action
Employee will take such action (including signature and assistance in
preparation of documents or the giving of testimony) as may be requested by the
Company to evidence, transfer, vest or confirm the Company's rights and
ownership in the Local Hard Drive Product.  If Employer is unable for any reason
to secure Employee's signature to fulfill the intent of paragraph 10.2 of this
Agreement or to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or
foreign patents or copyright registrations covering the Local Hard Drive Product
assigned to Employer above, then Employee irrevocably appoints Employer and its
authorized agents as his agent and attorney in fact, to transfer, vest or
confirm Employer's rights and to execute and file any such applications and to
do all other lawful acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters
patent or copyright registrations with the same legal force as if done by
