CPA, Steven Sprague is the creator and visionary of trusted computing as we know it today. The TCG would simply not exist at this level in 2004 if not for Stevens relentless, persistent, charismatic, and passionate approach towards realizing Wave ubiquity in the trusted computing space. You say its the tech alone that has kept Wave afloat and has brought this company to the edge of that ubiquity. I say the tech would have been acquired long ago without Stevens stubborness and persistence to own this trusted computing space as we will surely come to know very soon. All the travel and deals made over drinks and dinner with the RIGHT poeple who believe in Steven and his vision have paid off my friend. Go ahead and embarrass yourself amongst the few remaining peers that you do have in this community and cast your measly vote on the next proxy. I personally hope you choose to quietly celebrate when this company financially succeeds as I will be disgusted if you choose to celebrate with the Wave community in Vegas. Good luck with casting your vote.
