Well, Paul, if we've really pushed you into it, there is a way you can publish incrementally and have people pay for whatever they want (or are otherwise forced) to read. Wave Systems (WAVX) has an application of its "Trusted Client" WAVE/Embassy technology which allows incremental micropublishing and micropurchases of content, called MyPublish.com. Wave announced MyPublish.com in cooperation with TheGlobe.com a couple of weeks ago in a press release that starts out: > > >THEGLOBE.COM AND WAVE SYSTEMS OFFER INTERNET INDUSTRY'S FIRST E-COMMERCE SERVICE FOR THE SALE OF PERSONAL DIGITAL CONTENT San Jose, CA, April 22, 1999 -- theglobe.com (Nasdaq:TGLO), a leading online network that integrates e-commerce, content and user interaction, and Wave Systems Corp., (OTC BB: WAVX; wave.com), a provider of electronic commerce, content distribution and security services, announced the first free personal publishing e-commerce service for digital content distribution on the Internet. theglobe.com will provide Wave's MyPublish community e-commerce service to its members who will have the ability to easily promote and sell digital content such as personally-created newsletters, subscriptions, images, audio, video, and software to other users from their personal web sites at theglobe.com. < < < The full press release and description of the concept can be found at: wave.com A few people have actually set themselves up on the system and are publishing and selling serialized books, poems, technical data, etc. I admit this off-topic, and also disclose that I am a WAVX stockholder, but now that we've decided that you are about to undergo a career change, we have to find ways to support this voluntary decision that we have all made for you.
