You need parking spaces before you isntall meters...

True, nobody wants to look for a parking meter. But you have to have parking spaces before you have the meter. Better yet, you need to contract to install meters. So far, the City Council has shut WAVX out of the bidding <g>.

My main point is that WAVx could achieve an installed base more quickly if they allowed peripheral cards. HP chose this path, are they dumb?

Any thoughts on this? What kind of response would there be from the electronic game crowd if major content providers advertised (in those numerous game publications) the ability to try out - at a minimal 'micro-transaction' cost - a package of highly valuable and name-brand games on CD ROMs, all bundled with a secure encrypting metering devise for free?

I feel like there could be a good market for the WaveMeter imbedded in an expansion card especially when the whole package is directed to hard-core gamers who may already have powerful multi-media PCs. Wave would naturally want to access this market, even after the anticipated OEM deals are done. I think this end of the market may be one of the features by Wave at the E3 in Atlanta.
