Great post, CM. I'd missed the article in Infoworld, and the quotes that you posted only added to my already burgeoning confidence level.

I don't have much to add to the question of valuation models--all I know is that if we achieve ubiquity, we ain't gonna be at $11!

An Old List of WAVX Investors, Posted By MIT Student...

Tonight, while rooting around, I found an old (1995? 1994?) list of WAVX investors, posted by a then-post-graduate MIT Student who had done some research into Wave Systems and interviewed Peter Sprague.
The list has probably already been digested by the RB folks some months back, but, for me, it's new and newsworthy. Some of the names on here are famous in technology circles. Plus, taken in toto, the list speaks volumes about how many influential folks have seen and been impressed by Mr. Sprague's vision. Whether these folks are still investors, IMHO, is hardly the point. Here's the list:

Michael Von Clemm, Former Head of Merrill Lynch
George Montgomery, Head of Hambricht and Quist, NY
Stanislas Yassukovich, Vice Chairman, London Stock Exchange
Philippe Von Stuffenberg, Warburg Pincus
Harold Wilmending, Senior VP, U.S. Trust Company
Philippe Bertin, Financier Wagram Poncelet, French Investment Group
John Bagaley, Managing Director, Boston University Community Technology Fund
Yuval Birin, Former Partner, Adler & Co Butler, Chapman, NY Investment Bankers
Donald Weeden, Weeden & Co.
Kevin Kimberlin, Spencer Trask & Co.
Dr. Colin Bell, Former Head AT7T England, GEISCO Europe
Edward Borwinick, Founder, Timeplex, Former Senior VP Unisys Networks
Dr. Herman Hauser, Founder, Acorn Company, Co-Chairman, EO Computer Ltd.
Michael Seedman, Former Presdient, Practical Peripherals
Timothy Slater, President, Computrak
Graham Sherren, Founder & CEO, Centaur Communications
Sir Patrick Sargeant, Chairman, Associated Newspapers, London
Dr. Kenneth Warren, Macmillan Publishing, Rockefeller Foundation
Prof. Nicholas Negroponte, MIT Media Lab
Dr. Jerry Eskin, Founder, Information Resources, Inc.
Peter Rosenwald, Former Head, Saatchi and Saatchi, Japan
Robert Leff, Co-chairman, Merisel, Founder, Sofsel
George Conrades, former Senior VP and general manager of IBM United States
William McKnight, EVP, Nabisco Foods Group
John E. McConnaughy, Jr., Former Chairman and CEO, GEO International Corp.
Dr. Wesley Howe, Former Chairman, Becten Dickenson
Seymour Schweber, Chairman, Seymour Electronics
Gene Ray, President and CEO, Titan Corp.
George Gilder, Senior Fellow AT&T, The Discovery Institute, and author of nine books.

Best Regards,

Having The Attention Span Of A Fruit Fly On Crack...

I may have missed this being posted by someone or several someones.
(Given the fever pitch of the RB thread, it is more than likely that this article has been parsed, dissected, and made the subject of several treatises by hermeneutics scholars on three continents, including a line by line analysis discovering that when you collect all the inital capitalized letters and scramble them up you get the sentence, "I did not have sex with that... woman... Ms. Nijinski" eerily to close to a now infamous quote.)
At any rate, it ain't about WAVX in a direct way. It's a 3/8 Computerworld article about online credit card fraud stinging e-merchants. It's a good read. Here's the link...

idg.net

If that link doesn't work, I'm sure the article is available by doing a search at Computerworld.

Best Regards,
