Those That Have Written About And/Or Invested In WAVX... Here's a list of luminaries who have I either written about or invested in WAVX... Mark Stefik, Chief Scientist, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center: long recognized as one of the premier research organizations. It was he who was recently quoted in The Economist article. George Gilder, author of numerous books... and... well... we know his story. Esther Dyson, recognized as one of the most influential minds in the New Economy. She wrote an article about Wave Systems in Wired Magazine back in 1996. Isn't it typical that futurists often "get it" long before the readers of Barron's? Bob Metcalfe, one of the founders of 3Com, and the inventor of Ethernet. He's also a regular columnist in Infoworld. And was, if I recall correctly, an early Wave investor. Nicholas Negroponte, (I believe) the Chief Scientist at MIT's New Media Laboratory and author of "Being Digital" among other works. I can't count Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, inventor of "Pong", and the man credited with inventing a precursor to the Furby. He's on the Wave Systems board. I don't think he's written about Wave Systems... and I don't know whether he's invested in the company or not. There are other names, of course. But, I'll stop there for now. So, when some reporter for some magazine neglects to mention WAVX... for lack of research or understanding of the WAVX business model... I guess I'm not too chagrined. Because I DO know who DOES know about WAVX. Best Regards & Smiling, c m

Thanks for yet another thought provoking post, cm, on "Back to Facts" (August 8). Seems to have floated past the watchful in these Summer doldrums, and was probably ignored by the balatrons of bombast, since it couldn't be mangled into a knee-jerk hype alert, but I digress. One particular comment by Henry Blodgett, piqued my curiosity... He says that Microsoft wants >> "...to insure (sic) that they have a role in the post-personal computer world." << Now that's certainly out of the box. In the face of Linux, and free PC's, is he taking Gilder's vision of moving intelligence to the periphery of the network, one logical step further? Perhaps to the wireless world, for PDM / ISP / OS / content distrubution marketshare? Peter Sprague stated on CNBC, that his vision, a dozen years ago, of wanting his pager to deliver Calvin and Hobbes <g> was the genesis of Wave Systems. Is the prospect of the Wave enabled, broadcast capable, ultra PDM communicator, so far fetched? Best regards, Wooly
