Bob, My only reason for being here is to stop this game going on here. I have known these people for 10 years or so. So far they have failed all their investors except the inner circle that comes in with the initial venture capital. I have sat in on demos in a small conference room with 10-15 other people. When I searchingly asked how we could get on board, I was told that to buy the stock. The story is always the same. Why must they always open up a 'new used company' for every little invention that they come up with? By using NCII they escaped making a huge IPO profit that could have been used for research and manufacturing of this great device. Tell me why that wasn't dumb!? What was wrong with using ATCO. I believe that is the speakerless wonder boy. It is a Sound company so it should be right down their alley. The story is always the same as we are going through now. I say: Sell the darn product and make money, and you will be able to close down the PR department and save even more...humble carl

Bob, from the Agoracom EDIG board: agoracom.com Subject: RE: Pokonchi--Ketchup or Mustard?? From: TWOMIL Date: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 We could schedule you much, much earlier than the next shareholder meeting for this one. Yes, some will be surprised that this feat can be accomplished. You said, ''If we have more than 3 OEMs by the end of DECEMBER I will eat my shorts!'' I personally won't hold you to this, but others you've provoked may ask you to keep your word. Today's announcement by Compaq is a first generation product without multiple DRM's. IMO, MSFT's drm is the only one operative on it. CPQ's DEC engineering team started this product, but I believe we will not see CPQ finishing the series of products they are talking about with this engineering team. CPQ is finding out it is too costly and time consuming to do this AND they will soon be facing competition from other PC manufacturers, perhaps much more respected, that will soon be countering their PR today. Many here have drawn very premature conclusions about what the CPQ announcement means. All of the negativity over the last 12 hours will soon look very overdone. None of us yet know the whole story, but I am collecting bits and pieces from various sources. I've had only very limited time in the past 12 hours, but I would encourage some of our posters to call CPQ and ask them: (Please post their answers.) 1. Is the ITRU drm currently able to be used in this product? 2. Is the IBM EMM drm currently able to be used in this product? 3. Does the RIO software currently permit me to download and play any secure music? Remember we have not yet heard from Dell, Gateway, HP, ACER, Micron. IMO, many of these others have to be working on parallel tracks with CPQ. Pokonchi & others: Keep the faith. Good luck to all.
