I don't have my report yet...will be checking mailbox..and what was that thingie back in 96? I still have that one somewhere too... we made some funny jokes about it, until the KM fiasco....then it became the KM coffin.... But, I'm glad I hung on, this has been the best thread, and gave me confidence to buy more when price was right! Thanks to all!
The best annual report for me to date is last years' Pixar..complete with a 5 minute video! So, when will Ed send us a magic decoder ring?
What about this WavePhore stuff (see below)? I'm just getting caught up on some of the news in my iPennies tracking portfolio and came across this from 4/7....Maybe you all have discussed this many times already, but I find some very close parallels with AXC. So if this is old news please ignore, but isn't AXC also somehow connected with PRNewswire?
I can't remember...this was right around the time I broke the ole ankle and missed about a jillion postings.
Thanks in advance for suffering the posts of this old fool...
Still limping and lurking,

PHOENIX, April 7 /PRNewswire/ -- WavePhore, Inc. (Nasdaq: WAVO) announced
today the availability of the beta release of WavePhore NewsPak. NewsPak
enables easy integration of streaming real-time news, selected from more than
70 industry categories, into web sites. NewsPak includes both real-time news
feeds and the NewsPak Software Developers Kit (SDK). The NewsPak SDK is based
on XML, the new universal standard for information exchange. The SDK contains
the tools necessary for web site owners to accept a real-time streaming XML
news feed from WavePhore, store extracted content on their local server, then
display this content in a style consistent with the rest of their site. The
NewsPak architecture supports such enhancements as Internet broadcasting of
streaming audio and video. WavePhore will demonstrate NewsPak at Spring
Internet World in Los Angeles next week in booth #1469.
Real-time, industry specific news brings more web site visitors more often
and keeps them there longer. NewsPak is "sticky" content that adds value to
information already on a web site. Streaming content that automatically
refreshes itself, like NewsPak, keeps site operating costs low while keeping
the site fresh and interesting.
"As the leading broadcaster of content via Internet, satellite, and FM for
the world's largest, most respected news organizations, WavePhore is uniquely
positioned to deliver NewsPak. Our years of expertise as well as through our
established relationships with more than 4,500 premiere content sources
enables us to provide web site owners with the most robust news solutions,"
said David Deeds, Chairman, President and CEO, WavePhore. "The Extensible
Markup Language (XML), a cornerstone of NewsPak, is changing the fundamental
nature of news and information broadcasting over the Internet. The wide
variety of formats and delivery mechanisms introduced in the past by content
producers defined a mission for WavePhore: aggregate, normalize, and
redistribute news in a standard format. With the addition of full audio and
video streaming, NewsPak will become the most complete source of multimedia
news and information."
Content Agreements Announced with Associated Press, PR Newswire and COMTEX
NewsPak makes adding news to any web site easy by removing the burden of
licensing. For a fixed-fee each month, web sites subscribe to a customized
basic NewsPak package containing content from leading information providers,
PR Newswire and COMTEX Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: CMTX) for
COMTEX Newsroom. Premium content will be available from Associated Press and
additional providers. Together, these information providers deliver content
from 34 premiere news sources collectively generating more than 2,000 stories
per day.

media and financial community. With 29 U.S. bureaus, five overseas
PRN International bureaus, an exclusive partnership with Canada NewsWire and
its vast network of wire, fax, e-mail and Internet delivery, PR Newswire

professionals worldwide.
