Frankly, This Is A Must Read... DD With A Jolt... Okay, so I've been following the PCFreeComputers.com posts on RB that have spanned most of the day. Further, I went ahead and e-mailed the PC Free CEO... and got a quick and clear response in the affirmative about its intention to include the WaveMeter/EMBASSY in its hardware. In addition, they hope to distribute 50 million PCs by the end of next year... reaching markets that are typically underserved. Then, I went to their Web site and learned that they have links to Compaq (who, it appears, will be their manufacturer) and Red Hat (a Linux provider) and a former Netscape guru, who chose to depart after the AOL purchase. Then, I found this link to a 5/10 article about AOL's plans... (If, by some chance, I mis-type this link... please go to www.news.com and do a search for AOL) Note several things about this article: LINUX (specifically Red Hat) and Compaq are mentioned prominently... news.com Happy Monday Evening... c m

Wave and E3 e3expo.com I was perusing the E3 site and noticed that Wave's booth is surrounded by THE entire console game market, namely Sony, Sega and Nintendo. Sega's new Dreamcast console is very intriguing to me. It's going to ship with full Internet access and an internal 33.6K modem that will be upgradable to a cable modem. If Sega has their act together, why wouldn't they want to support a pay-per-play, Arcade-style mode of play. It would be like having your own personal and interactive arcade at your house. Sega has announced a storage deal with Iomega for local storage needs, why couldn't I just download the latest wave-enabled title, store it on a Zip disk and play it whenever I want? Production costs for Sega approach $0 nada. There is no middle man. And I've always got a pocket full of change (loaded on my meter). Somebody slap me. Am I dream(cast)ing? IMO, this would blow the doors off of Sony and Nintendo and our stock price of course. Sega Link sega.com ---Slate
