PINC- was this news jibberish or is there something there (COMTEX) B: PLANET CITY TEAMS WITH DIGITAL RIVER TO MARKET PC Y2K FIX B: PLANET CITY TEAMS WITH DIGITAL RIVER TO MARKET PC Y2K FIX SEDONA, Ariz., Dec 1, 1999 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Planet City's (OTC Bulletin Board: PINC) PC Y2K tool kit to be promoted by Digital River (Nasdaq: DRIV). The Millennium Bug Compliance Kit (MBCK) is immediately available for download and purchase through Digital River's network of 1,200 retail E-Commerce sites. The purchase process is designed so that you can download the MBCK from the web-site, or order physical copies to be shipped via courier service for a small shipping/handling fee. Registration of the product is fully automated through the web-site, so no telephone calls are necessary. The MBCK was recently listed #1 on CNN.com's Top Ten PC Y2K Fixes. Terry Dennis, President and CEO of Planet City, said "We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Digital River, as it will give MBCK the exposure we have been looking for. Their 1,200 retail E-commerce sales sites provide the opportunity for people of all interest groups to purchase our product. The MBCK gives home PC users and Small Business owners the capability to fix all three areas of the PC that are Y2K exposed. It has a hardware test and fix feature, an installed application software identification feature that provides an automatic link to the web sites of the application's vendor for downloading fixes (if any), and a user data file scan, impact analysis, and assisted remediation feature. "This teaming arrangement is especially timely, because the majority of PC owners have been putting off buying a Y2K fix until the very last minute. There will be increased press coverage of this problem as we get closer to the 'Big Day'. Our product will be readily available through early next year. That's when all those who didn't prepare for the Y2K impact will begin encountering problems, and go looking for solutions. Digital River's vast marketing network will send them our way." Digital River's CEO, Joel Ronning, said "Digital River is excited to have the MBCK as part of our offering of retail products. It is a robust, high quality Y2K solution."
