Press Release Body = Janco Associates, Inc. has just released its 1st quarter 2006
Browser Market Share White Paper. The major findings include that Firefox has
maintained its number 2 browser position and in the past 12 months has added 7.81%
to its market share.

The white paper also reports that Netscape version 8 has not taken off as well as
expected and has only increased its market share by .61% in the same twelve month
period. Currently over 98.55% of the browser activity is limited to four browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, and Mozilla.

New in this white paper are recommendations on which browsers to use and why. 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
(http://www.itproductivity.org/browser.htm).

The top four browser market share rankings are: 1 - Microsoft's IE - 82.83%; 2 -
Firefox - 12.61%; 3 - Netscape - 2.33%; and 4 - Mozilla - 0.78%. 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
three quarters Firefox has begun to regain momentum." 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."

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
