That's an ESPP. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Those are perfectly AOK. My comment referred to investors with the same terms, not employees. Amy J

News March 12, 09:46 Eastern Time SAN FRANCISCO (March 12) BUSINESS WIRE -March 12, 1999--After completing the optimization of its Community Platform 4.0 for the Intel Pentium III processor, blaxxun now supports NURBS technology. For the first time, objects developed with NURBS techniques can be displayed via the Internet. NURBS reduce the bandwidth requirements for complex 3D data by an average of 80% while displaying three-dimensional models with astounding realism. A new generation of Internet applications that are no longer restricted to text and simple graphics or animations now becomes possible. The new NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) technology is a co-development of blaxxun and Intel that provides a variety of improvements in addition to the faster display of high-quality 3D graphics. Content can be developed faster and more economically, since a single model can be used for all target platforms. NURBS technology allows complex animations and is supported by authoring tools such as 3D Studio MAX. Content developers including Lunatic in Germany and Crea in France are already using blaxxun's NURBS technology. NURBS, long established in the graphics sector, is now available for the first time on PC platforms. NURBS technology describes 3D models mathematically so that they can be transferred in a very compact form over the Internet. In contrast to traditional techniques, with which entire 3D models with all their polygons must be transferred from the Web to the PC, NURBS transfers only a few bytes and takes advantage of the Pentium III processor's performance to reproduce the model on the PC. This makes it possible to transfer animated 3D models over a normal phone line in real time. "NURBS technology on Pentium III-based systems represents the breakthrough for 3D on the Internet," said Franz Buchenberger, CEO of blaxxun interactive. "New interactive Web sites with rich media content can finally be realized on the Internet." blaxxun interactive, based in San Francisco and Munich, is the global leader in products and solutions for multimedia communication on the Internet and intranets. Its technology platform ties multimedia with rich communication features allowing the building of visually striking communities and venues where users interact and network with each other in 2D and 3D.
