Exhibit 99.1

SHREWSBURY, NJ, April 24, 2008 - Wayside Technology Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTG) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008. The results will be discussed in a conference call to be held on Friday, April 25, 2008 at 10:00 AM Eastern time. The dial-in telephone number is (866) 814-8483 and the pass code is "WSTG".

Total net sales for the first quarter of 2008 decreased 14% or $6.4 million to $40.5 million compared to $46.9 million for the same period in 2007. These results are entirely attributable to a continuation of the reduction of sales for our largest vendor because of intense competition and extremely low margins. Sales for the first quarter of 2008 for our Lifeboat segment were $29.3 million compared to $36.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, representing a 19% decrease. Sales for the first quarter of 2008 for our Programmer's Paradise segment were $11.2 million compared to $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2007, representing a 3% increase. Gross profit margin, as a percentage of net sales, for the quarter ending March 31, 2008 was 9.3% compared to 9.5% in the first quarter of 2007.

"In accordance with our strategic plan, and as stated before, we are transitioning to become a more diverse software provider. We are pleased to report that our strategy to add new publishers as well as expand our current relationships with software publishers is working well. Excluding our largest distribution line, sales increased by $2.9 million or 11% compared to the first quarter of 2007. Since January 1, 2008, we signed distribution contracts with 11 software publishers," said Simon F. Nynens, chairman and chief executive officer. "We continued to face reduced sales for our largest vendor due to intense competition and extremely low margins. As expected, Q1 2008 was comparatively a tough quarter. Sales for our Lifeboat segment grew 56% or $13 million in the first quarter of 2007 which set up a very tough quarter-over-quarter growth comparison. Although we cannot forecast 2008 second quarter results, based on April's month to date results, we are cautiously optimistic about the second quarter of 2008."

On April 23, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $.15 per share of its common stock payable May 20, 2008 to shareholders of record on May 7, 2008.

Total gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $3.8 million compared to $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2007.

Gross profit for our Programmer's Paradise segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $1.4 million compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Gross margin as a percentage was 12.2% versus 14.2% in Q1 2007. Gross margin as a percentage was impacted by several large deals in Q1 2008. These large deals typically carry lower gross margins.

Gross profit for our Lifeboat segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $2.4 million compared to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2007. Gross margin as a percentage remained at 8.1% in Q1 2008 versus Q1 2007. These results reflect the continued pricing pressure on our main line as well as the impact of our recently introduced "point saving" program. We reserved $0.1 million for these expenses in this first quarter of 2008. Actual usage of our point saving program is below our initial estimates; as a result, we expect these costs, as a percentage of sales, to be lower on a go forward basis.

Total selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the first quarter of 2008 were $2.9 million compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2007.

Net income for the first quarter of 2008 amounted to $629,000 or 1.6% of net sales as compared to $990,000 or 2.1% for the same period in 2007.
