100's of Content Providers Already On Board... It's really weird. Content providers--like the publishers of Business Week, for example, and Tom Clancy's Red Storm Entertainment and Mattel's The Learning Company--don't seem to have much problem doing business with an "unknown company." Then there are game companies who will probably even less problem doing business with WAVX thanks to Nolan Bushnell's being added to the board. Oh, shorters, did you happen to catch that announcement? In that announcement, Bushnell basically tipped the hand on the concept of a pay-as-you-play online gaming arcade which WAVE can enable. Wonder why he did that. Oh, and as for consumers. To repeat: does anyone have a problem doing business with Hewlett Packard or Dell or Compaq or NEC? Because that's the only name that will matter to a consumer whose system includes "the money chip." It's bizarre, really. I pay my OEM--in my case, Dell--to vet who they do business with... whether its HD suppliers or modem makers or whoever's part of the supply chain. I trust they make the right choices for me. But, of course, Joe Schmoe isn't like me. He wouldn't trust an OEM to make the right choices. He wants to think about all of that. Oh yeah. That's gonna happen. Well, there are other names, sure, like Sony's Psygnosis and Sierra Online that the consumer will have to come to grips with. That's right, I forgot: they've already come to grips with those names. So, it would appear that the "unknown company" will be judged by the companies that surround it, so to speak. Companies who will each profit by their association. Wow, you know, the more I study the remarks of Claugus, I begin to think he's a closet shill for WAVX. His arguments are just a transparent ruse to get investors to do serious DD... which will lead... as a matter of course... to their buying the stock. Brilliant. Best Regards, c m
