Kermit 95 will definitely provide the latter :-)
Getting a new product into the stores requires pressure from
both ends -- the producers and the consumers. If your local
Egghead / CompUSA / Computer City have not heard of the product,
but you want to buy it from them, then presumably they would be
glad to sell it to you if they knew how, especially given the
dearth of Windows 95 products on the shelves so far.
We are doing our best to get the word out to them from our end,
but it also can't hurt for customers to instigate orders from
their end too. If your computer store does not carry Kermit 95
but you would like them too, you can refer them to the
distributor:

Old Bridge NJ 08857
