With the expansion card, it is envisioned, several CD ROMs will be shipped, providing you with a broad range of top content. Accordingly, the box will likely be marketed as a "Software Library," putting the emphasis on the content, rather than the enabling technology (the Wave System). 2) Computer useful lives are relatively short so computers purchased in the last five years will need to be replaced in order to access new software and communications speeds. As these computers are replaced, there is the opportunity to sell new computers with the Wave System -- David C. Collins Jaffoni & Collins 212/835-8500 212/835-8525 fax collins@jcir.com
