Norman, it hurts to hear you complaining about how slow your 33K modem is, since I'm still operating at 28.8. Oh, well. Anyway, welcome aboard our little ship -- sorry that the welcome hasn't been more...welcoming, but obviously things have sort of crazy lately. So here's a further stab at your questions. First, the serial number that Intel is punching into the hardware is just a number. It's nothing more, so it doesn't do any of the stuff that Embassy does. In fact, the whole complaint about that number is that it's not secure, it would be (if not turned off) accessible to anyone who wanted it. Now, if it were stored in Embassy it would be a different story. Bottom line: having this serial number on the processor chip doesn't have a whole lot of bearing on the metering/security functions of Embassy. Next question. Intel cannot provide the same functions that Embassy provides for one big reasons: patents. WAVX has patents on metering of digital information and on digital broadcasting which the company states (and there is little reason to doubt it) are very solid. Now, there are some functions of Embassy which Intel could put on a chip -- most obviously the encryption/decryption functions. But even if they did this we have several advantages. First, Embassy is already available. Second, it's got export aproval. I hope that helps. I think I've got this more or less right. I'm sure that someone else will correct me if I haven't.

To Norman and Timothy. By all means, keep researching the company's activities. Eventually, you'll be answering questions rather than asking. WAVX is just getting warmed up! As the company's assets are almost thoroughly intellectual, its genius and ingenuity have finally found their way to market acceptance thanx to a great deal effort at a pretty price. It's been a long time waiting. Now the waiting is over. Time to reify the "big idea" and reap the rewards! Our technology's applications are just beginning to be realized. Our business is distribution in the EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION not the exchange of retail goods. The former is what the Net is primarily all about. The trucking industry can handle the latter. As this becomes more evident to Wall Street, move over e-Bay! WAVX will serve and prosper in the economic activity arriving upon the demands and desires of tomorrow's communication technologies. What was once the bread and butter of the print and broadcast media - of the old land lines of communications - will be ours for the feast in the new Digital Network World. Your friend, Marty
