DocStone: Date of article was not a typo--March, 1997. It was included with new investors package I received last fall. Jaffoni & Collins can send you one if you don't already have it. I agree with privacy concerns issue, but to finish the thought, consider the following: First, businesses don't care (unless they are not legitimate or not operating lawfully). Second, isn't this an issue already with credit card transactions? Third, wouldn't the consumer prefer (if having no choice) to allow only one party (WAVX) to have usage information, coupled with an agreement not to disseminate that information, rather than having to register at so many sites with no clear confidence in the legitimacy of the person to whom they are giving the information?

re: privacy. Unless you have a nice firewall, the more sophisticated websites & services (ie msn & ibm.net) already have the tech to scan your hard drive while you are on line. They justify it with "looking for unregistered copies of software, or looking to see if they should offer you an upgrade to your 3.1. Gee, how did they know I was still running 3.1? There has been an small uproar in the industry and the big guys deny that there are doing it now, and I believe them... Dan Ogens

To MFG.... hELLO AgAIn.. yOU sAID.. "And lets face it: Rent-to-own is associated with economically marginal neighborhoods. In essence, I doubt Wave will have much success in the CONSUMER e-market. Let's not get too carried off by the hermeneutical... In most the "neighborhoods" I've lived, the realtors and banks were quite successful convincing my fellow "homeowners" they had bought a home of their own when if fact all they owned was a mortgage. Rent to own for 30 years........hardly an economically marginal activity. In "essence," you might doubt your doubts. "Rent-to-own" need not carry the stigma implied. Wave Systems provides the means to wealth transfer with its meter..It's up to those who use the meter as "publishers" to find successful marketing tools to suck the bucks out of e-commerce CONSUMERS. Shouldn't be too difficult. One may argue that there's some similitude between purchasing a home, a game, or an "idea." Your friend, Marty
