Tech Monster, You should know by now that it is "tabu" to question what's going on at HTSF. Just "trust the motivation" is what we shareholders like to say. Uncle Ben is working it out for us. However since you were bold enough to go there, You bring up some good points: 1) Why aren't we hearing of any "sales" victories with Thinkology for the upcoming school year. There was a time where we heard about a few small school systems purchasing the software. Haven't heard anything since. 2) We still are waiting patiently for some audited financials to look at. 3) Many of us non "blind faith" shareholders would love to know how many shares of stock are outstanding. 4) Of course we would love to have an announcement regarding our super duper browser. I think all of us on this board are impressed with it, let's just hope that the market is equally impressed. When you speak of being at a big time Mac show and we were MIA, that's a little frustrating. 5) At this point, we have no evidence of the companies ability to sell it's products. Keep in mind VAR's have many products to sell. They aren't going to kill themselves to push HTSF. Tech Monster, I hope your post was incorrect and we will here from the company what is going on. I don't think this silence is very golden. P.S. The answer to all of the above questions and issues is: "The evil Market Makers are killing us!!

You may be right, Tech Monster. It's possible that HeartSoft has no clue about marketing its wares, no matter how superior they are. Since I made the decision to hold my stock pretty much no matter what, I clearly put on a set of blinders in the hope that I went the right way. Too, Benjamin Shell told us on April 6th, 1999 that "We expect that the Heartsoft you see now will only be a shadow of what we will look like a quarter or two down the road,'' That was in this news release. heartsoft.com When will we hear if he is succeeding? I am staying tuned. Even with the more realistic demeanor I am wearing these days, I believe it is still too early to write this company off. We shall see! Rick

More hype? I think it's a HUGE bite!! >>Thursday July 29, 6:44 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Heartsoft to Distribute Secure Children's Browser Thru ISPs World-Wide Confirms New Browser to be Positioned as De Facto Standard for children Accessing the Internet TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 29, 1999--Heartsoft, Inc. (OTC BB:HTSF - news) acknowledged today that that the company is in talks with dozens of large national and international Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to distribute its new secure browser for children. Industry-wide appeal for security technologies which have been incorporated into the company's new secure children's browser have created substantial international interest by ISPs regarding distribution of the new browser. ''Many estimates report that there are over 60 million internet users in the U.S. and over 100 million users world wide. As each of these users signed on to the world wide web, they received copies of either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator or both, from a local ISP,'' said Benjamin P. Shell, Heartsoft, Inc. Chairman and CEO. ''Many of these ISPs have been looking for a product such as our new browser to distribute to existing and future customers.'' ''Our new secure browser will introduce parents and educators world-wide to an age appropriate Internet experience for their children. While the powerful security features will protect our children from inappropriate Internet-based content to an extremely high level of accuracy, the new browser will also be an exciting place for children to learn and play,'' said Shell. The new browser will present young Internet users with an engaging and fun-filled environment from which they can discover the true power of the Internet. The company also said that is will announce a projected roll-out date for the new browser and a significant pre-release marketing campaign soon. In other related news, Heartsoft said that it had received numerous inquiries from regional and national ISPs into licensing of its new proprietary image analysis and detection technology. The technology, code-named Gauntlet, analyzes photographic material found on the Internet for pornographic content. It was created to drastically improve the level of Internet protection in its new secure browser for children over stand-alone 'text-based' content filters schemes currently employed within the industry. The new browser will be available for both the home and the school and will operate on both Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT - news) Windows 95/98® and Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL - news) iMac® and Macintosh® platforms. Heartsoft's much anticipated secure browser offers parents and educators a secure and safe alternative to Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's (NYSE:AOL - news) Navigator Internet browsers. Heartsoft's support of Microsoft Windows 98 significantly expands the company's ability to support hardware manufacturers such as Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq:DELL - news), Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news), and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HWP - news), which represent the most widely used platforms in schools and by parents.
