Steve,
I glad you recognize that I was just trying to make a point that WAVX apparently did see merit in listing this information under the Investor Relation banner...where I think it safe to assume that many first timers might go for information about the company.

I wish you luck on WAVX. IMO they must get deployment out and soon. So far it appears that they haven't had much luck and from articles that I've read...this aspect of e-commerce is being addressed by numerous companies. And I really don't think the likes of Visa and MasterCard will sit back and rest on their laurels.

I guess one of my major concerns with WAVX is the fact that it appears that their devise must be installed in the individual computer for the consumer to benefit from their technology. To me the most logical system would be one in which the retailer would have the technology to allow the consumer to purchase/test/download their product with a credit balance being debited for the individual consumer. IMO the OEM's have no incentive to place the WAVX product in their systems, if this method is made available to the retailer, thereby keeping them from getting an revenue from WAVX transactions.

I readily admit that this technology is not in my realm of expertise(as if I have expertise in anything), but I still have the thoughts of concern.

Article from today's NYTimes on Free PC (not our PC-Free, unfortunately, but still worth reading). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how important Wave could be to outfits literally giving away their computers...
