Paul: "Of coarse." What else could we expect you to say?

Paulie, what was TLC's market share for Education, Reference, and personal productivity in September? What do you expect it to be in October? It's so tough when TLC only has three of the top ten titles but they end up with 9 of the top 20, that MUST mean they're doing poorly. What share count do you expect TLC to use for it's results?

What's the problem Paulie, September's data looks fantastic. From Yahoo post: September Educational marketshare according to PC Data. The % in parentheses indicates the change from August. By Dollars: 1) The Learning Company - 39.7% (+.1%) 2) Cendant - 28.9% (-4.1%) 3) Humongous - 9.5% (+3.6%) 4) Disney - 4.6% (-1%) 5) Scholastic - 2.0% (+1.6%) 6) Encore - 1.9% (-.3%) 7) IBM - 1.6% (-.2%) 8) Microsoft - 1.2% (+.4%) 9) Sanctuary Woods - .9% (+.8%) 10) Simon & Schuster - .8% (+.3%) Units: 1) The Learning Company - 38.1% (+.7%) 2) Cendant - 30.2% (-4.7%) 3) Humongous - 11.8% (+2.3%) 4) Disney - 4.0% (-.4%) 5) Scholastic - 2.0% (+1.7%) 6) IBM - 1.5% (-.3%) 7) Expert Software - 1.4% (+.1%) 8) Encore - 1.2% (+1%) 9) Sanctuary Woods - 1.2% (+1%) 10) Cosmi - .9% (-.3%) TLC is #1 in dollar share and unit share. What more could you want. Proof positive that TLC's strategy is working and right on track. Also, looks like TLC's number one competitor, Cedant, is fading fast. In fact, in terms of dollars, TLC has more market share then their top two competitors combined!!! WOW....the making of an industry giant?? FF
