Janice: Re: you can't buy their products at the local Egghead

True. The big Y2K players don't sell their stuff at Egghead. Except for Computer Associates. They have lots of shrink wrapped stuff, but none of it is Y2K related.

But, if your comment was supposed to make me feel better about CSHK's chances, they weren't successful. From what little reading I did here on this thread and some of the links, it appears to me that their first marketing efforts will be spent towards the web, and then later on towards the mass marketing appeal of software stores.

The problem with that plan is that the majority of casual PC users don't even know what the web is. Some don't even know how to do anything but play games. Kinda' like that guy several posts back who says his wife has to help him with email. But, folks like that don't really NEED Y2K fixes, I guess.

So, with that in mind ... just how big is the market, anyway? If the majority of folks who are "PC literate" know there is a Y2K problem, don't you think that Joe will "lend" Sam his Y2K fix? It's a one time need. Run the product, have it tell you what needs to be fixed (can't really tell whether it fixes it or not from the posts here), then hand the CD-ROM to your buddy, who will then run it once, and pass it on to his buddy, who will then run it once, and pass it on to ... well you get the picture.
