  Comdisco, Inc. Announces Repurchase of $26 Million
  of Common Stock from Estate of Kenneth N. Pontikes;
  Authorizes Additional $25 Million Stock Repurchase Program
  
  
  	Rosemont, Illinois, January 27, 1995:  Comdisco, Inc. announced today
  that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Computer Discount Corporation,
  it has repurchased 1,100,000 shares of its common stock from the estate
  of Kenneth N. Pontikes and related trusts.  The aggregate purchase price
  for the 1,100,000 shares is $25,994,375, or $23.625 per share.  This 
  represents a negotiated 5% discount from the closing price of the 
  company's common stock on January 26, 1995.  The company said that 
  the Pontikes Trust and estate had informed the company that the purpose 
  of the sale was to raise funds to discharge liabilities of the estate of 
  Kenneth N. Pontikes and the Trust, which includes the payment of federal
  estate tax.  Mr. Pontikes, the company's former chairman, CEO and founder,
  died in June 1994.
  	After giving effect to the repurchase, the company has approximately
  35.2 million shares of common stock outstanding, and the estate of 
  Kenneth N. Pontikes and related entities continue to hold 8,104,448 
  shares of common stock, representing approximately 23% of the outstanding 
  common shares.
  	The repurchase was approved unanimously by the company's board of 
  directors, other than Nicholas K. Pontikes, who, as executor of the 
  estate and the trustee of the trust, did not participate in the decision 
  on behalf of the company.  Prior to making its decision, the board 
  received the opinion of Salomon Brothers Inc., a nationally-recognized 
  investment banking firm, that the repurchase is fair, from a financial 
  point of view, to the company.  
  	"The repurchase of these shares from Kenneth Pontikes' Estate and 
  Trust at an attractive price is an excellent opportunity to enhance value 
  for our shareholders and fits in well with our ongoing share repurchase 
  program," said Jack Slevin, president and chief executive officer of 
  Comdisco, Inc.
  	The company also announced that the board of directors authorized an 
  additional expenditure of up to $25 million to purchase shares of the 
  company's currently outstanding common and/or preferred stock or 
  other debt securities of the company.  Any future purchases would depend 
  on market and other conditions and would be made in the open market or 
  otherwise at such prices as the company may from time to time approve.
  	Comdisco (NYSE:CDO) is one of the world's leading providers of 
  solutions that help organizations reduce technology cost and risk.  These 
  services include equipment leasing and remarketing; business continuity 
  and related consulting services; systems integration; asset management 
  tools and services; and more.  Comdisco's revenue totalled $2.1 
  billion for fiscal year 1994, ended September 30, 1994.
