Where is everybody? Let me guess, you all ran out to buy a copy of WorldCities 2000 for ONLY $49.95.
I hope this isn't the revolutionary news that Stock Misses was referring to. World travel and planning will never be the same again.
Regards.
Jose.
PS. I must say, "they're a sucker born every minute". Who on earth is crazy/stupid enough to bid this POS up today?

'WorldCities 2000 San Francisco,' is Now Available for Immediate Delivery at www.imaginon.com for a Suggested Retail Price of Only $49.95;
More WorldCities 2000 Titles to be Introduced Over the Next 12 Months

SAN CARLOS, Calif., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- ImaginOn, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMON) today officially inaugurated the era of Virtual Tourism with the announcement that it has begun shipping the first in a series of new interactive CD/Web travel planners that incorporate its patent-pending Transformational Database Processing and Playback (TDPP) technology. Called "WorldCities 2000 San Francisco," the Microsoft Windows(R)-based-three CD set, which features over 140 minutes of original video footage of San Francisco, is available for immediate delivery for 49.95 from ImaginOn's new e-commerce Online Store at www.imaginon.com. Versions of the same title for the Apple Macintosh(R) and Sun Solaris(R) platforms will be available later this year, according to David Schwartz, President and Chief Executive Officer of ImaginOn, Inc.
"The availability of WorldCities 2000 San Francisco isn't just another new product launch it's the beginning of new era in tourism -- Virtual Tourism," Schwartz said today. "It also marks the start of a new chapter in productive interactive travel planning, which, until today, has been largely limited to individuals searching Web sites on a 'hit or miss' basis to find out all they can about a city before visiting it. Our WorldCities 2000 Series in general, and the WorldCities 2000 San Francisco title specifically, will change the way people plan travel, buy tickets, and make reservations in the age of the Internet."
Under development for the last two years, WorldCities 2000 San Francisco marks the first time TV-quality video and the Internet have been combined in a simple, easy-to-use format that is both entertaining and informative. The title literally turns Internet users into virtual tourists, placing them behind the camera in a movie.
Upon arrival at San Francisco International Airport, the virtual traveler moves through baggage claim, ground transportation, and driving to the city. Once there, travelers can explore every part of the city and, at any time, click the "Go Online" button. Doing so immediately opens ImaginOn's built-in browser and transports the traveler to any of the more than 1000 individual Web sites featured in the title. Information can then be obtained, reservations booked and plans confirmed.
According to Schwartz, ImaginOn is now in the process of completing its second title in the series, WorldCities 2000 New York, the Windows version of which is scheduled for delivery in May, 1999. "All of the video footage has been shot and edited, and the Web sites gathered. We're now in the process of completing audio post production of the title." The third and fourth titles in the series, WorldCities 2000 London and Paris, are expected to ship in October, 1999.
