ok, we have a video server alliance with HP, but read the following in light of the HP e-commerce news and remember HP is conspicuously absent from the draft letter.... ... Reiter Associates, Inc. is a small, highly talented organization that provides various services including e-commerce support to businesses operating on the world wide web. Our strategic interest in Reiter stems from the possibility that e-commerce will be the most important source of profit on the Internet, and that it could be useful to have in-house expertise in this field. Our initial investment represented 20% of Reiter's stock with an option to acquire a majority. We will be exercising this option after the end of the first quarter and Reiter will become a majority-owned subsidiary of Ampex at that point.

<<"Make them LOOK and SOUND better.">> From the 10K ... <<Ampex holds no proprietary technology and is not in a position to achieve dominance in any market segment of the Internet. >> but also from the 10K - listed as one risk factor ... << Ampex's ability to transfer audio or video technology to Internet-based applications>> I do not doubt their expertise and ability to compete head to head with anyone in these waters..... but, personally, do kind of doubt there is a new proprietary add on product in the immediate wings. But...lol...damn if i know for sure one way or another. Many intriguing unknowns .... but many comforting knowns too.
