stores nationwide
TORONTO, CANADA--Software Gaming Corp. (SGMS OTC :Toronto) is
pleased to announce its wholly owned subsidiary, Beyond 2000
Solutions Ltd., has shipped 20,000 units of its Y2K test program
IntelliTEST 2000 to Zellers stores across Canada.
IntelliTEST 2000 tests PCs for Y2K compliance. If IntelliTEST
returns a non-Y2K compliant result, the end-user is prompted to
purchase the full version of the software product IntelliFIX 2000
or IntelliFIX 2000 Pro, from Zellers.
Included with IntelliTEST 2000 is a $10.00 mail-in rebate for
proof of purchase of IntelliFIX 2000 or IntelliFIX 2000 Pro and
another mail-in rebate for the software products Speed98 or
SafeNet.
In support of this promotion, Zellers has listed and ordered
IntelliFIX 2000, 2000 Pro, Speed98 and SafeNet from Beyond 2000
Solutions' family of software products for distribution in all of
its 392 stores nationwide.
IntelliTEST 2000 will be made available throughout Zellers stores,
while the other software products will retail in the
Electronics/Home Entertainment department.
It is estimated that the Y2K computer bug will affect over five
million personal, small office and home office PCs in Canada.
Industry reports indicate over 65% of purchases of Y2K fix
software products will be made in the month of December.
