Ditto that and redirect to Tom Murphy: It is unbelievable the number of people who don't get it. WAVO is a BROADCAST service and not something you can access and download stuff from. Since it is a broadcast service your software can be configured to your needs to EXTRACT info based on interests, key words, weather alerts, stock alerts etc. If you review the companies whose services WAVO offers then you can see the types of information available to retrieve. Having left your computer on while away and having configured your software to capture WAVO price and volume activity for the day it would be there for you when you arrive home. The same holds true for any info available through WAVO services. No need to log on to the net. No need to go seeking the information. It is there for you. Waiting for HOT news or WAVO to hit $7.00?. As soon as WAVO delivers it to you PC via broadcast your software could be calling your beeper to alert you. Reddy…..sorry but I get frustrated. Yes, especially frustrating when price of the stock is dropping.

Reddy, I think some of the discussion involves other uses for the "Wavephore method" of transfer, since PC content is ultimately based on files. My feeling is that the current Wavetop is nice, but not what Wavephore can really be. I bought some shares not because of Wavetop, but for what I think they can do to transmit data, not shape it's content. Which is why I didn't mind paying $5 for a share; at this price I can afford to wait. I think the Dow's getting too pricey, but Wavephore will do fine if they can demonstrate a vision of the next step of their datacasting. It's easy for me to make the distinction between the stock and the stock market; I'm sure there are investors here who are frustrated with the market's bull run and Wavephore's lack of participation. They may need deeper pockets, like Microsoft's, to realize this, though. Dave
