Thanks Captain Jack for the link to "Wall Street Transcript" article on WAVX. Nice find MBCOYOTE! Lots of juicy news, especially the part that finally answers the question--What happens to the huge base of installed PC's that don"t have WaveMeters? (Answer)
Mr. Sprague, "we've got two products: First is the Plug and Play ISA card and the second is the universal serial bus device which plugs in externally. Both are inexpensive, I mean sub-$50, so for the price of one software title, you get our metering capability and 20 titles ( in a bundle, my words) to choose from.
Question--Has the add on meter been developed?--Answer Mr. Sprague--"Yes, it has. Today the add on meter is in the form of an internal plug-in-play card. BY THE END OF SUMMER IT WILL BE AVAILABLE AS A USB DEVICE. These are not available in retail yet and we probably won"t make them available until the first OEM's (plural) are shipping". (probably early "99"-my words based on earlier statement in this article).
"The second part of our strategy is to continue working with a number of manufactures of peripherals, modems, sound cards, DVD cards, etc. who have expressed interest in bundling the WaveMeter in their products because they see it as a value added feature". (as our tv tuner card agreement with Hauppauge demonstrates).
Thanks again CAPTAIN. |
