Thanks guys for the quick response. I am still trying to find out what is a typical royalty for Wind in its various offerings. I have invested in other companies where I had an idea of the return it was helpful in determining how the companies are doing. Frank

Kahn, Here's a WIND-powered 'Stove-Top' Box from Bob Lamson, the man who brought the Juiceman and Breadman to the world! But seriously, the August issue of WIRED just arrived and in the middle of page 176 I noticed an article about a kitchen appliance that will be using the "Spyglass browser and a Wind River Systems OS". Why Wind River ? Well it seems that "the CEO's focus groups told him Windows was the last thing they wanted in their kitchens..." > Someone is going to wire the heart of the home... Will it be a computer > industry still rooted in business applications, or a man who turned a juice > extractor into a best-selling panmedia celebrity phenomenon? At trade > shows, Lamson pours coffee onto the Advantage 2000's wireless keyboard to > show that it's spillproof.

I realize this is not real technical, but I found the mention of Wind River Systems OS to be very interesting I do appreciate the way you have been helping us non-technical folks understand what WIND does and how it all fits together. --alan

livemanuals.com emultek.com wrs.com Khan, may be WIND can make money investing in these other companies, such as the up coming Liberate IPO, instead of worry about T2 and other stuff. So did you check out the Irwin and Joan Engineering Building while at my alma mater? Ramsey
