My kids play games on the internet. I have to enter my credit card number, which I hate to do with a small gaming company, and then the gaming company bills my credit card every month. I've turned down letting them play several games because I don't like the looks of a Website. An advantage to WAVE and a disadvantage of the present way of doing it is that currently I just keep getting billed until I email/call them and cancel. Under WAVE, if the kids stopped playing, I'd stop getting billed.

Jmood.. This guy didn't say much, did he? Microsoft's game site "The Zone" is pretty lame. Check out CasinoLand - The Ultimate Vegas Experience. Much better.. Microsoft has blown it on strategic games too. Like Chess. If you want to play interactive Chess with some of the best players in the world, you will have to sign up some place else on the net For the latest news on that, check out insidechess.com Call Yasser Seirawan. (The best Chess player in the Western Hemisphere) Yasser has been "working" with Microsoft for some time now. Microsoft has managed to play MR. Bungles on building an interactive Chess site for an unforgivably length of time given the opportunity Microsoft has had and the fact that Bill Gates claims to be able to play the game somewhat well himself. (Or did at one time) Yasser's current site will transfer its content over to another site yet to be inaugurated on the internet. Yasser will be in charge of content there. Yasser is familiar with Wave System's technologies thanks to yours truly. He's also very impressed by them. Sincerely, Marty
