Netmaster Signs CD-ROM Deal Increasing Advertising Circulation by 2
Million WALTHAM, Mass. and NEWPORT, R.I., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- echoMEDIA Technology, Inc., a subsidiary of Netmaster Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NETZ - news) and Simply Magazine, Inc. today announced that the Simply Tax CD-ROM (www.simplymagazine.com), one of the nation's most widely distributed, bug-free tax programs, will be added to the growing list of echoMEDIA publishing clients.
''This relationship affords echoMEDIA's (doesn't he mean Simply Tax - must have been another martini) clients the ability to reach approximately 2,000,000 targeted consumers,'' stated Thomas Burgess, President and CEO of echoMEDIA. ''Our advertisers includes are excited about the opportunity to include their own software program and multimedia ad on the CD, in addition to having a significant presence on a very well-known and highly respected magazine.''
In 1998, Simply Tax, one of the three major tax programs for PC's , will offer its tax preparation software at a suggested retail price of $5.99. It will also offer a new 96 page magazine which will include the complete tax program for $7.95. Simply Tax provides an obvious value compared to its two high-priced competitors. In the 1996 tax season, Simply Tax sold 1 million units.
Simply Tax is not a top 3 tax program for PC's
1. Simply Tax, U.S. Tax software hardly gets past forms.
2. Simply Tax is bare-bones tax preparation software.
3. The program is little more than electronic versions of tax forms.
4. For instance, Simply Tax asked about the earned-income tax credit even though the taxpayer's income was too high to qualify. Those kinds of annoying redundancies have been mostly eliminated from the other three programs.
5. If your taxes are straightforward "It's supposed to be simple and fast. That's the deal."
6. Simply Tax is not a top tax program, it simply has the advantage of being only $10, and it's sold in places people go frequently: grocery, drug and discount stores.
7. Go to Alta Vista and search on "Simply Tax". You will notice the emmence number of problems with the program. It is not bug-free.
Folks Mr. Burgess has caused misleading and fraudulent statements to be published.
I rest my case. It is time for NETZ to start reporting or deal with its shareholders.
