I have a WAVX question--I just bought an expensive Macintosh G3 computer and, of course, it didn't have our chip in it. I don't plan on buying a new computer for a number of years, and so my question is this: can I add the wavemeter chip to my computer once it's on the market, or will I have to buy a new computer? Excellent post, Trippi, by the way. The reason why I'm so optimistic about the OEMs putting our chip inside their boxes is because they get a piece of the revenue stream that it will generate. Without that fact they would have precious little incentive to add us in, but with the profit margins of their products shrinking by the day, I think they will have little choice. In chess it's called "checkmate..."

So why add WAVX's technology vs someone else's into the PC or set-top boxes??? For a manufacture to add a chip to a PC or other device is not a simple decision. They have to have a strategy and a clear vision where the industry is going with this type of technology....and what the likely hood is for WAVX's technology to become a standard. The last thing they want to do is add WAVX's chip only to find out 6 months later that everyone else is adopting company "ZZZ" technology. We need to see some serious support for WAVX's product. So far I have seen very little commitment from any major manufacture of electronic devices. WAVX is running short of time and money.... Cautiously long WAVX.... dave
