My last post this evening [morning where most of you are] I promise. My wife is a perfect backboard to bounce technical stuff off of, since she is a certified luddite. Well, maybe not that bad. But her take on it is if she has to think how it works, it doesn't work. I put to her the following not quite so theoretical situation: Christams '99 and we stop by EggHead and pick up some CD's that are "Wave Enabled". They scan the barcode for their record and we walk out with them. Christmas morning we put the game in the computer [recently outfitted with a wave chip] and a window pops up asking the appropriate questions and making the appropriate license warnings [like most SW does when 1st installed] and my [then] 9 year old starts playing KiddieMyst [lost in an abandoned playground looking for the monkey bars]. 30 minutes later she gets bored, pulls out the disk and pops in the Hercules one we bought earlier. A total of $0.30 has been debited from my Wave account, not the $29.90 that the CD would have cost without Wave. My wife thought it was a great idea. And urged me to buy more. So I did. Tony.
