Good morning Gus, Yo, Gus, good to hear from ya...where is partner Jubimer? Gus, I would like to help you with your bet. Could you kindly reveal the NAME of the company as our detective skills are drained from Ampex! ..."web hosting company"...is just a fraction of what "Cousin Eddie" said, when he said, "web hosting company". He defined and distinguished 'web hosting company' further by "FULL MOTION VIDEO" web hosting company. FULL MOTION VIDEO!!! This "type" of hosting company is an example of forward thinking, creating a market yet to exist, applying our expertise, AND using a WORLD (internet = worldwide, also) renown "product" name like AMPEX - the Coca Cola of digital video & AUDIO aquistion, processing and storage... From excerpts of Hiway Tech you provided...imagine the revenues...imagine a spigot with cash flowing out...imagine Ampex at $25 or $ 30...imagine watching Bruce Willis, Sean Conary or Harrison Ford on your huge HDTV (patented by AMPEX) monitor as some says "...pass the me "coke",... Thank you for the link to Hiway Technologies on Edgar, we have some reading ahead of us. Best wishes. Swamp Fox. P.S. Even being in deep and cheap, the "elephant" is lifting off my chest. After four years, Mary Beth said it best - "these are most positive things he has ever penned..."

Thanks again Gus, For the informative reading "Hiway Technologies", 6/10/98, sec.gov The prospectus details almost everything Ampex is faced with in entering the new Web hosting services business. I come away from my readings of this prospectus telling myself "Video by Ampex" IS the heavyweight "brand" for anyone on the planet to contend with. The article also mentions that enhanced services to business is expected to reach $ 7 billion ( $ 7,000,000,000 ) a year in 2000. The services mentioned are e-mail, e-commerce, etc. There is no mention of full motion video and audio services. The "need" does not SEEM to be addressed?, yet. Does the potential for quality full motion audio and video hosting, service and equipment guesstimate to be $1,000,000,000 or $3,000,000,000 by Y2K? If so?, whoso?, can-do-so? On the Internet/HDTV, business(s) will "need" to compete with quality video & audio. Entertainment companies will "need" to deliver bubble gum for the brain. Politicians will "need" votes with quality video and sound-bites from their recent 9 day trip to China...etc. The link you gave us before on how full motion video (mpeg vs xpeg vs ypeg vs pegpeg ) is processed, it details that whomever endeavors in the video market must have depth of technical skill and know how to deliver "the product". Add to that, the technical know how and depth of engaging with large-scale, corporate, telecommunications, network, goverment and entertainment business(s) AND linking them to the Internet. A bold undertaking... I admit my investigations of business with ability, capability and scope of scale for the aquisition, processing and storage of digital image data has hit dead ends. I have torn apart the 'net. I need help in finding companies who also can deliver this product. I investigated all listed in the 10Q or 10K of Ampex but they seem lacking in one way or another. Please, post your findings or thoughts. Lets investigate who we are competing with. Truly, Swamp Fox. P.S. if you need to see my findings from 10K and 10Q I thinks they were posted around December '97.
