I found the annual report very aesthetically appealing... ...and tastefully done. It is like a magazine with a semi-glossy texture on a higher weight paper. There are a lot of photos of consumer devices. It drives home the point that SanDisk has targeted "a beautiful quilt of emerging mega-markets" that Eli described one year ago. I asked my wife today about the SanDisk CF and MMC cards. I asked her to compare with several other cards both that I own (Nikon and Canon bundled cards, Kingston,...) and those that are visible at retail or on the Internet. FWIW, my wife likes the current SanDisk cards best of all. She finds the red background with the visible spectrum border on the top very visually appealing. "SanDisk" is in white on these cards and capacity is color coded. I think marketing has done a great job with the product line despite my prior rants. And I respect my wife's opinion on matters of taste. She dresses me every morning and makes sure I am color coordinated. I have successfully avoided most major fashion faux pas... ...except for a continued fascination with Hush Puppies. Ausdauer

Digital Music......FYI info. From: ecommerceman Monday, Apr 24, 2000 9:37 PM ET Reply # of 10278 Good post from Barge at WAVX-DD By: barge Reply To: None Monday, 24 Apr 2000 at 5:00 PM EDT Post # of 992 < Previous Respond Next > Embassy Chip referred to as "copyright chip". Adobe has a nice piece about DRM(Digital Rights Management). And of course how you can have an up to date discussion of DRM without mentioning the WAVE chip ? adobe.com "InterTrust, with its experience in tying MP3 access rights to music-playing devices such as the RioPort, is developing hardware-based protection of published content. Future generations of PCs may include "copyright chips" - such as the EMBASSY chip developed by Wave Systems - that would provide hacker-proof protection for digital content."
