  A $7 million stock offering is planned for early 1995 by University City-  
  based Mosaic Multisoft Corp.  The capital raised would pay for the final

  the same release, the firm revealed a 1-for-4 reverse stock split which    
  was approved by current shareholders.

   MY hard-earned SAVINGS!"  But you're WRONG!  It's NOT sneaky at all!!!    
   It really IS the Perfect GET RICH Formula, which only I have discovered,  
   and which I am passing its full SECRET *EXECUTIVE* KNOWLEDGE on to YOU!   
   AHA!  Now you're thinking, "WHY would he share his Power-System Secrets

   Genius Rocket Scientist" to figure this out!  Because it's THOUGHT-FREE!  
   The fact that you're reading this should be proof enough! And if you're   
   at all worried about getting SOMETHING THIS VALUABLE for NOTHING, rest    
   assured -- IT IS WORTH IT!!  ALL you need to do, is simply "GET a CLUE"!

   SEATTLE, DECEMBER 20, 1994 (AP) -- Microsoft Corp. has pushed back the    
   release date of its newest version of Windows by two more months. The     
   Windows 95 operating system, which is supposed to be faster and less      
   complicated than the current version and will be able to run without      
   DOS, won't be ready until August, Microsoft said. Nearly 50,000 people    
   have been sent early versions of Windows 95 and some came across kinks,   
   particularly its compatibility with existing programs. In March, 1995     
   Microsoft will ship a version of Windows 95 to 400,000 more computer      
   users for final testing.
