24 would satisfy "dozens", and 36 would be a reasonable interpretation.  But
a more important problem is how will you tell?  Suppose he names Microsoft
products such as "Reader's Digest Complete Do-It-Yourself Guide" or "Magic
School Bus Explores in the Age of the Dinosaur"?  They've got a lot of
consumer/family/educational products like that.  Those kind of things don't
get a lot of prerelease press, and so you are going to have in intresting
problem proving they were late.  And what about things like Encarta or
Cinemania, which come out with new updated editions each year?  If Encarta
94, 95, 96, and 97 were all on time, would that count as four on time
products or one?
