Press Release Summary = Microsoft continues to lose browser market share while
Firefox has maintained its number 2 browser position and has to its market share.

Press Release Body = Janco Associates, Inc. has just released its mid year 2006
Browser Market Share White Paper. The major findings for the last 12 months include
that Microsoft continues to lose browser market share while Firefox has maintained
its number 2 browser position and has added 2.82% to its market share.

The white paper also reports that Netscape version 8 has not taken off as well as
expected and has only 4.98% of the browser market. Currently over 97.52% of the
browser activity is limited to four browsers: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox,
Netscape, and AOL.

A summary of Janco's browser market share data can be found on the web at both
www.e-janco.com/browser.htm and the IT
Productivity Center (ITPC) web site ().

The top four browser market share rankings are: 1 - Microsoft's IE - 75.88; 2 -
Firefox - 13.71%; 3 - Netscape - 4.98%; and 4 - AOL - 2.95%. The CEO of Janco
Associates, Inc., M. Victor Janulaitis said: "Firefox took off quickly in early 2005
but slowed with the identification of a number of security issues. In the last few
quarters Firefox has not found any new traction." He added, "Netscape's release of
version 8 seems to have landed like a lead balloon. The marketing of that product
has been ineffective. In our opinion it is not clear that Netscape will be a player
in the browser market next year at this time. This is especially true with the
turmoil at AOL - Netscape\'s parent."

Janco has collected consistent data on browser activity since September 1997. The
data is collected from commercial sits which a focus on business to business
activity. Janco has over 350,000 data points for each month of the study as it
continues to expand it client base. Janco anticipates that it will issue an update
to it market share data at the end of the second quarter of this year.

As with all products in the Janco product line, the full study is distributed
electronically and can be purchased for $249.00 at
