I spoke with a couple of people at the company on Friday. They were very upbeat and positive about the future. I especially asked about WaveTop. Yes it is in Beta testing. All is going well. Apparently those who have seen it are pretty much blown away, it's that impressive. Their numbers are basically 2 million potential users before the release of Windows 98. Once Windows 98 is released the sky is the limit. Download times are very similar to that of a 28.8 modem. I know that may sound slow but because there is almost no bandwidth problem once the download is pushed to your harddrive it will seem instaneous. As personal investor I asked about stocktop in particular. There will be unlimited quotes with a 15 minute delay. Unfortunately there will be no associated press releases with the initial release. They're more interested in this being sucessful in consumer entertainment arena. Greater mass appeal means more advertisement dollars! However I was told that the system will be updated and upgraded based on comsumer demands. So perhaps we should be vocal about our desires to see news related to our stock portfolios included as soon as possible. Finally it appears that the other two divisions are going great guns and are profitable. The waveTop division appears to be poised to compete for company bragging rites soon. Regards, Jeff
