Pay particular attention to the ** paragraph. (can you bold on SI, if so,how?) Michael M. Connors President Emeritus, AOL Technologies America Online, Inc. Michael M. Connors was recently appointed to the AOL Foundation's Board of Directors and named President Emeritus, AOL Technologies. Connors, who was President, of AOL Technologies, is stepping aside after building AOL's world-Class technology infrastructure and organization. The AOL Foundation was created last year to help pioneer the development of strategies and programs that leverage the power of this new medium to improve the lives of families and children, and empower the disadvantaged. *******As President Emeritus of AOL Technologies, Mr. Connors will work with AOL's senior management in identifying and developing emerging technologies in the global interactive industry to enhance the Company's offering of services and products. Since his appointment as the head of AOL Technologies six years ago, Mr. Connors and his team were responsible for the maintenance and development of the core technologies and operational resources that established America Online as the world leader in interactive services and content. Under Mr. Connors' leadership, AOL Technologies created and grew AOLnet, the world's largest dial-up network as well as the Company's infrastructure for member services and business systems, scaled the system from 1,800 to today's nearly 800,000 simultaneous users, and developed the recently launched AOL 4.0 software that has earned widespread acclaim from reviewers and members alike. Mr. Connors's team was responsible for the creation of the successful technological platforms for AOL Instant Messenger and Buddy List, AOL.COM, and AOL NetFind. In addition, they managed smooth integration of the technologies and personnel from CompuServe, ICQ, NetChannel and other acquisitions into the AOL Technologies team. Mr. Connors joined America Online in October 1992 as Senior Vice President, Technology and Operations. Prior to joining the Company, he was employed for 25 years by IBM where he held executive positions in marketing, development, manufacturing, planning and finance, information systems and research. In his final IBM position as director of communications and computing systems, he was responsible for worldwide operational support of IBM research; for development of communications products with more than $100 million in life-of-product revenue; and for a consulting practice with some $10 million annual revenue. Mr. Connors was educated at Stanford University where he received his BS in Industrial Engineering, an MS in Statistics, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics. He has attended executive development programs in Finance and Information Systems at Harvard University, and is the author of a book, several chapters and a dozen technical papers on mathematical control theory. He has been a lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley and an adjunct professor at the Graduate School of Business, UCLA. Long and loving it.

For Those Who Have Been Patient... The recent turn of events has reminded me yet again of the value of independent research. Friends, it doesn't matter if you're the first to find a particular cool link or bit of info as much as it matters that you are continuing your own due diligence and learning more about your investment. I would argue that the higher the percentage of your portfolio that's concentrated in a high-risk investment like WAVX, the more your own responsibility to keep reading the articles, keep watching the supply chain and drawing upon the core "finders" on RB and, on occasions, over here as well. Had you NOT steeled your determination to keep accumulating WAVX or, at least, maintain your position... Had you been goaded or scared out of your shares... You wouldn't have seen what we all saw today. I'm not (just) talking about a nice percentage gain. I'm talking about the confirmation YET AGAIN of WAVX's place in The New Economy. It's been said perhaps too many times, but it bears repeating: WAVX is part of the ISTPA for a reason. And, I assure you, it isn't because the Intels and Microsofts and NCRs and Compaqs of the world want to give WAVX an easy source of credibility... And, today, you can know THERE'S A REASON that people of this quality are associating their names and reputations with the Sarnoff/WAVX joint venture. And, as Big Tim was the first to note on RB, there's a reason that that AOL Emeritus fellow specifically referenced "patents" in his remarks. And there's a reason that distinguished professionals are quoted in terms that convey a palpable sense of opportunity and excitement. And there's a reason that Nicholas Negroponte and George Gilder and Bob Metcalfe are still believers in WAVX, some TEN years after initially investing. I haven't called a single move. I haven't found the pivotal link. I very much doubt that Steven or Peter know my nickname. (Not complaining, mind you.) But, in doing my own research, I have found--and continue to reinforce--my resolve. (And, yes, it's easier to say that tonight than it was just last week.) To those who have had the fortitude to stay the course through this the summer of our discontent (especially those who continue to visit this quieter thread), I just want to say that it's been great having company. Especially company of such high caliber. My Best Regards, c m
