TKC....Great post!! For those of us who have been involved with Wave Systems for as long as we have been...one has to recognize that when we first got in....the only thing that existed was the Embassy 2100 and a vision. That was it!! No infrastructure was present....most people thought that the security on the net was fine.....Looking back...there was no way we were going to get to our endpoint UNLESS the OEMs had decided to place the Embassy 2100 chips into their PCs. This obviously did not happen. The next step was to help develop a dummied down version of the security chip and our purchase of N*Able went a long way into the R&D. The TPM came along and so did the TCPA which then morphed into the TCG. The OEMs had to be convinced to place the tpms on their products which they did AFTER the DOD made them a requirement. This DOD was "convinced" to place the tpm requirement to a large degree by the work of Wave Systems. Even then....there was no "REASON" that would cause corporations to switch from the current standards to brand new technology until very recently.

We have now entered into the perfect storm for Wave Systems. We have the infrastructure rolled out.....the various pieces for Trusted Computing are finally getting into place. NOW IS THE TIME!!!SKS and his team have done a very good job at getting us to this point. NOW IS THE TIME FOR THEM TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO EXECUTE THE SALES PORTION...... I sincerely believe that they are beginning to demonstrate that ability with the GM sale x 2/ BASF.....they need a couple more major deals and I believe we will be off to the races...IMHO

Now getting back to your post....You're absolutely correct. We shareholders are a hidden asset for the company. I know a few of our friends who are working behind the scenes helping the company along. Newbies like ExPat provide a very good resource for the company and her shareholders..... to take advantage of his understanding of securty issues (from the corporate perspective) as well as his understanding of Trusted Computing. There is no reason why we as a group could not be constructive in helping to spread the concept of Trusted Computing.

Sincerely,
