News For Tex!! NSM Licenses With WAVX....Yo' Tex! Howya doin' dere! Dis heer News Release is for youse!! Yippee-Yi-O-Ki-Ay!! Wednesday September 15, 8:04 am Eastern Time Company Press Release National Semiconductor and Wave Systems to Develop Co-processor-based Security Solutions for E-commerce SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 1999--National Semiconductor© Corporation (NYSE:NSM - news) today announced a licensing agreement with Wave Systems Corp. (Nasdaq:WAVX - news) to jointly develop hardware-based security solutions for information appliances and PCs. The companies will integrate security technology developed by NABLE Technologies (recently acquired by Wave Systems) into existing National Advanced I/O products. These products will increase security levels to offer users a more trusted e-commerce environment. The licensed security architecture provides a hardware platform that can reside in a secure device within the traditional PC or information appliance environment. This architecture creates a `virtual firewall' environment for processing sensitive data such as payment or identity information. This type of environment is less vulnerable to viral and network-based attacks than processor- or software-based security solutions, in part because this platform is a hardware-based security co-processor that manages and processes the secure transfer of data to and from the information appliance or PC. National and Wave anticipate announcing further intentions for these products in the upcoming months. These plans will support any anticipated open security standards for e-commerce and the trusted client-computing environment. About National Semiconductor National Semiconductor provides system-on-a-chip solutions for the information age. Combining real-world analog and state-of the-art digital technology, the company's chips lead many sectors of the personal computer, communications, and consumer markets. With headquarters in Santa Clara, California, National reported sales of $2 billion for its last fiscal year and currently has about 11,000 employees worldwide. Additional company and product information is available on the World Wide Web at www.national.com. About Wave Systems Founded in 1988, the mission of Wave Systems Corp. is to create the world's best technologies and services to secure and sell digital information. With the recently completed acquisition of NABLE Technologies, Wave now has a comprehensive line of trusted client co-processor systems. Wave's technology is an inexpensive, open standards, hardware and software-based device that enables secure transaction processing and distributed information metering in users' PCs. Embedded in PC hardware and peripherals, set-top boxes and other devices, Wave's trusted client technology is the foundation for client-based security applications and a new distribution and purchasing model for content and services. This low-cost, secure ``system within a system' will enable the personal computer to assume an important new role in the evolving digital economy. By moving secure transactions to the desktop, Wave provides intrinsic value to the electronic commerce process, benefiting PC users, application developers, and hardware manufacturers.

Mr. Dude, You have bashed WAVX at every turn, so please, don't pretend to care about me, or any other WAVX long. And yes, I do care what "competitors" are doing... I have owned a substantial block of IBM since 1970. I, like many contributors to this and other WAVX threads, have a very justified faith and trust in Wave Systems. I believe in the vision and capability of their leadership. I am awestruck by the genius of their technology. I am confident in the strength of their patents, and I greatly admire their compatibility with their partners. Why YOU pretend to care about WAVX shareholders, (which would be funny if it wasn't pathetic) is just part and parcel of your transparent, bashing tactics. Again, do yourself a favor, and go pester a thread where you actually own the stock, where you might have more at stake than a well deserved reputation for deceit. Wooly
