       TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 17, 1999--Today, Heartsoft, Inc. launched the official Internet Safari(R) Store where eCommerce customers, shareholders and Heartsoft enthusiasts can purchase product-branded merchandise based upon the jungle safari theme of its new secure children's Internet browser, Internet Safari(R).
       The opening of the on-line Safari Store marks the beginning of Internet-based sales of special-edition Heartsoft merchandise traditionally reserved for employees and distributed exclusively through industry trade shows and special events.
       The Safari Store has been opened in response to the immense interest in the company's new secure Internet browser for children, Internet Safari, which was announced earlier this year and which is scheduled for release in early 2000.
       The company's secure browser, which creates a safe portal to the Internet for young children, utilizes artificial intelligence to deflect inappropriate web content, as well as advanced image analysis and detection technology to intercept and eliminates pornographic images.
       The company believes that Internet Safari will become the preferred browser of choice for children by parents and educators due to its engaging children's interface and its unparalleled Internet security.
       The Safari Store can be accessed on-line at internet-safari.com or by calling Heartsoft toll free 800/285-3475.
       The Internet Safari Store will initially offer stylish "soft-wear" items and a beautiful Internet Safari mouse pad, with plans to expand its line of merchandise through 2000.
       SPECIAL OFFER -- Limited Edition Art Originals!
       The first 100 visitors to the Internet Safari Store who purchase over $30 in merchandise will receive FREE, a LIMITED EDITION, numbered black & white line-art drawing of Internet Safari's wide-eyed host and cartoon safari guide, Sydney, autographed by Sydney's original character illustrators, along with a certificate of authenticity. The print is suitable for framing and would make a great gift.
