Hi Burt! I thought the following article from Israel's Globes would interest you. Regards, Don M-Systems Following Deal with WebTV: 1999 Crucial for Converter Market By Ronny Lifschitz WebTV announced yesterday the introduction of a new-generation television converter, which is scheduled to be released on the market this summer. Parallel to watching cable TV, the converter will also make it possible to surf on the Internet, send and receive e-mail, shop on the Internet, and even print files. The television converter market is one of the growing markets in the Internet access accessories sector, which M-Systems defined this year as its major target market. Dataquest estimates that the number of converter units with Internet-link capability will reach 1.6 million in 1999. IDC, on the other hand, predicts that the market will total 30 million units by 2002. M-Systems believes that the big advantage of its deal with WebTV lies in the future. M-Systems' storage product is Microsoft Windows CE adjusted, and any move that turns Windows CE into a de facto standard in the Internet access sector will also enhance M-Systems' prospects.
