Snackman...........now you have been here as long as
everyone so you will remember that first......
It was TPM 1.1,then it was TPM 1.1b,then it was TPM 1.2,
then it was MSFT's Trustworthy Computing,then it was
Vista,then it was Embassy Remote Administration Server,
then it was Seagate's SED ver 1 then ver 2,then it's
Opal Spec,now it's SSD's....blah blah blah...
You see we have been through it all & it's still less
than 4000 upgrades a QTR....So please be honest!
Doma.
Internet.....Well if they kept the R&D at
the same levels from prior Qtr's we would still
be a couple of million shy of B/E.....so now SKS
cuts R&D by 1.5 million & B/E is close at hand.
Wave needs to sell Upgrades...more than 4000 a QTR
to reach B/E to show we are on our way.....NOT by
cutting R&D....Fudging Fiqures....don't fall for
that so easy......please!!
Doma.
Snackman....We are trading at a 99.5% loss
from our highs....that's where we are.... & that's
all that really matters Snackman....The Share Price
& what our CEO does to Increase shareholder Value.
Not because he has managed to just about keep the
lights on.........by....well we all know how!
Doma.
bert....because history REPEATS ITSELF!
When the same old people are in charge doing
the same old thing why do you expect anything
to change or to be different this time!
History shows us we can all learn from our
mistakes & sometimes that means you have to
change the people who cannot learn from their
mistakes.....If you don't change something don't
expect anything to change!
Doma.
Snackman....You are right Seagate being
2 years late had nothing to do with SKS telling
shareholders that B/E could be acheived with
orders in hand.
The problem is you defend the indefensible,& attack
those that merely speak the truth!
SKS is not a God Snackman & Wave is not a religion!
And yes i believe another CEO & Sales Team could by
now be selling more than 4000 upgrades a QTR....
Doma.
Yes snackman that's what we were told a couple of years
back when SKS told us he could sell 100,000 FDE drives
tomorrow...but here we sit 2 years later & we can't
sell 4000 in a qtr.....That's the truth not what SKS
tells you from 50 million installed base to B/E with
orders in hand to 100,000 FDE's....YET instead of attacking
the perpertrator of these myths you attack the person
who tells the truth.....That's Wave shareholders for you!
Doma.
Snackman...it took 2 sec's to find just one!
Seek & ye shall find....unless you like the
head in the sand approach!

Ispro....That's also part of the installed base
SKS Myth,gorilla's having their own image.Add the
Macafee recommended uninstall for a few years,general
software problems being fixed by uninstalling & so
on & so on.....& you get to the truth which is that
Wave does not have an Installed base of 50 million
copies of software....& that was all that i claimed
but which our CEO continues to claim!!
Doma.
Waveduke.....i have brought up the installed
number over the years as being false because
of all the recommended uninstalls,i was fully
invested then....being able to seek & speak the truth
has nothing to do with my position...even today
i have 90,000 shares left."the company is better positioned than ever" is something i have heard every year for
years but that doesn't change the FACT that after
all these years the company still can't sell more
than 4000 upgrades a QTR & frankly that's all any
investor should be concerned with!
But if it's a religious experience for you too
then i understand the truth must hurt!
Doma.
Snackman...Exactly...& because you refuse to do
a little DD on google to "find out the truth" i can
only surmise it's a religious experience for you.
Many software problems to the Dx10,Dx20 & Dx30 series from
Dell over the years were fixed by Uninstalling Wave's ETS.
So to keep on with this 50 million installed base
is pure fantasy & an outright lie!
Doma.
Snackman....Please please allow yourself just
once in a while to take a reasonable position,
it's a stock not a religion!!We get rich from
a rising share price not a CEO who feeds us all
the BS we need to keep the faith!
4000 upgrades a QTR 2 years on is beyond pathetic
& no positives can be taken from that figure except
proof that the sales team,CEO are even more pathetic!
Doma.
Snackman....please no attack posts!
Do your own research....it's not hard to google!
Doma.
oknpv.....just think about all those fantastic
articles over the years & then think about 4000
upgrades a QTR & then realise that it doesn't
matter how many beautiful articles are written
when your sales team & CEO can't sell more than
a thousand upgrades a month......!Does it matter
if the SED is a regular drive or a SSD if your
company can't sell!?
Doma.
Lets stop this 50 million machine Rubbish!!
Yes Wave has been paid for 50 million copies of
software BUT the vast majority of Wave's software
has been UNINSTALLED......SKS is well aware!
Doma.
Finally on our way would be.............
selling more than 4000 upgrades a qtr...funny
how there's no chat about such a lousy figure over
one year on?
Doma.
titlewave......for real?
yes their eyes will be opened as to why nobody is
turning on TPM's,& therefore why Wave's revenue's
& shareprice is where it is........after 5 years.
The only thing that matters to Wave shareholders is
TPM & SED upgrades so how is this info bullish for
us??
Doma.
Well apparently he sold 8,000 1st Qtr....only
92,000 left.....after 2 years......but hey just
remember SKS was let down by the gov.,Wave's partners,
Wave's customers...in fact the entire World stepped to
the left & let SKS down!
Doma.
RWK....i have not seen an 8k from any of these
SED manufacturers announcing a bundling agreement.
In fact i don't believe any of the recent sed news
announces a bundling agreement with the sed manufacturers.
A misleading p.r?Reading below one would believe that
any computer in the world ordered with a Samsung SSD
comes bundled with Wave.....Is this really the case?
"Each Samsung self-encrypting SSD, when ordered in a new computer, now comes bundled with Wave’s EMBASSY® Trusted Drive Manager for complete life cycle management of the drive including pre-boot authentication to the drive and enrolling drive administrators and users. Trusted Drive Manager also enables the backup of drive credentials."
Doma.
RWK..........that's not true.
Nobody has chosen Wave's SED solution apart from
Dell.....unless i missed something!?
Doma.
RWK....yes,the timing aspect.....
But,just because the government will come up with
a purchase plan doesn't mean we end up with any
significant business.I remember the last FDE Gov.
contract,SKS created a great deal of positive noise
then too,but we ended up with nothing....we were
on the initial list.
Bottom line.....why would anyone trust the boy
who cried wolf for 8 years?
Doma.
OT:Hamster
can you PM me your email?
Doma.
Ramsey2....It's rather unfortunate but when our
CEO says "he expects" something to happen by a
certain timeframe 99% of the time it doesn't.
And 99% of the time it is always the fault of
the other guy!
But you know this already.........
Doma.
Yep..........late 1997.eom
Ramsey2....No i mean't the WaveMeter Dongle that
Marty showed me over 10 years ago....
Hint:I've been here a lot longer than you:)!
Doma.
DRM....it's the same folks at Wave...gee i remember
my first visit to a trade show to see Wave's Envoy
product,the sales guy Marty Wargon is still at Wave...don't
think he's sold anything in 10 years.....10 years later
and the sales team can't manage more than 8000 upgrades a QTR....why are we soooooo scared of change?????
Doma.
Ramsey2......& what do you call
8000 SED upgrades a Qtr from Wave....The Big Act??
We were expecting more than that a year ago!!
Winmagic has sold 3 million FDE upgrades already....
Doma.
You're wasting your time imo....
SKS is a demi-God around here....
I own a bank stock that reported an 8 billion dollar profit
for 2008 yet shareholders still want the CEO & Chairman's
head.
Wave shareholders have been abused for so many years
by SKS they have nothing left!
Doma.
Asiseeit...Can you name another tech that
has deployed 400 million devices & 5 years later
none are switched on??Complete failure!!
So who or what is going to change this?
Please don't tell me it's FDE cause its already been
over a year & Wave is only selling 8000 upgrades a QTR.
Doma.
pontdugar.... "99 percent of IT managers, nor CEOs still don't have a clue as to what a TPM is"
Find that really hard to believe 4 yrs later....simply too much TPM security info from trade shows & IT industry mags.
Obviously though 99.99 percent don't use the tech!
Doma.
Titlewave.....I suggest you do a google search
for "Embassy Trust Suite" "problems" to get a
fair idea of what the consumer faces when they
turn on their TPM's & FDE drives!!
Simply put....this software/tech is way too difficult/buggy for consumers today....heck even SKS said IT still found it
difficult!
Doma.
"WAVE hit $50 because of the Hitachi Kidcard"
LMAO!!!
Doma.
titlewave....the problem is while Wave may have
44 million copies of software out there & 300 million
machines have deployed TPMs...not even half of a half of
a half of a half percent have turned them on after all these
years & Nothing that SKS said sounds like that situation
has changed!
Doma.
Same old Same old SKS.....
Customers stepping to the right....he's been saying that
one for years.
Government still very slow......he's been saying that
one for years.
8000 upgrades per qtr.....the best upgrade Qtr sofar!!
Gee we were expecting more than that Qtr 1 2008!!!
Q1 upgrades not as good as Q4.....Progress....NOT!!
Blah blah blah......You could be out this stock another
year without fear imo!
You could also 'retire' your bro & pa & reduce
costs even further.....still looking for a
buyer of Xpress one year later....LOL!!
Doma.
MIG.....Get Real!:)
SKS can say anything he likes to shareholders
& get away with it like he has for the past
10 years odd...he knows Wave shareholders are
nothing more than a big wet blanket that can
be walked over time & time again.
Doma.
Snackman....agreed....didn't see the personal
info post...totally irrelevant & invasion of privacy,
but other public info maybe relevant.
Doma.
Snackman....If Warren Buffett just announced a 9%
ownership in Wave Systems would you still be talking
about invasion of privacy?
How can public info about a Wave filing declaring a 9% ownership in the stock be banned from the board?
Doma.
Ramsey2..........I thought Wave's software uses/takes
advantage of the secure enviroment of Vpro,i didn't
realise you needed Wave's software to "run" Vpro...
when was that p.r released?
Doma.
Barge.....well that's a hop,skip & jump of
a conclusion..........of course it's wrong.
Infineon supports Vpro as well as Symantec
& a host of other third party software developers
including Wave....
Doma.
Barge.....the reality based conterweight to
Hardjano leaving would be for someone here to
explain why they would keep dad & bro on the
payroll at the expense of our CTO Hardjano.
Explain why they need to keep Both the President
& COO on at Xpress in light of the fact they are
trying to sell or license it.In the 4 years these
guys were President & COO they failed to produce
one single dollar licensing deal.....so why now do
we all think these are the right guys to get the
deals done????
Doma.
Weby....Explain how this company is Peter's
Family buisness when Peter doesn't own any shares
in the business????Now i understand a family business
when the family is a major stakeholder or has a
substantial holding but not when they own nothing!!!
Doma.
