SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 29, 2003 – Circus Ponies Software, Inc. today

“We’re excited about the enthusiastic reception we’ve gotten from the
academic community and we wanted to do everything we could to help them get
started,” said Elizabeth Statmore, vice president of marketing and sales

eligibility and complete their purchase, all in a single transaction.”
