Danny: Being a transplanted New Yorker, now living in San Francisco, I have often read and appreciated your 'Empire Zone' articles in the Times......
but please write your article on Wave Systems in a year,
not now.
It would be like writing an article on the Red Sox
before they actually won the World Series.......

Perhaps we are currently in that fourth game of the playoffs , having lost the first three against those damn Yankees......I'm certain you remember that game......

Danny, why now?

Danny....are you writing about Wave or Waveoids??

As Wave's prospects and revenue are directly related
to the success/uptake by the Enterprise space of
Trusted Computing have you contacted the TCG?

If however you are after more stories about ex-Wave
investors that have written one man plays or have lost
all their money perhaps the Yahoo Wavx board will give
you what you want?

Are you looking to write a balanced piece about the
prospects of Wave & Trusted Computing or are you just
after personnal investor "stories" to try & ridicule
Waveoids with...??

Doma.

Danny Hakim, I've read four of your articles on Wave Systems since December of 1999, including the piece on a play by Jonathan Mirin. They were well written, and I can see how they would have been entertaining to those not invested in Wave.

Over the past month you have probably spoken to an assortment of people associated with the TCG, as well as to some of Wave's partners, so I'm sure you've acquired a good understanding of the architecture of trusted computing, its evolution and Wave's role in particular.

As with many emerging technologies, federal government adoption is extremely important for overall market validation, and government plans to widely deploy TPMs are now well known, and underway. Once the government activates these TPMs they will need to upgrade to Wave's client/server applications. I would pay close attention to this segment of the new market for trusted computing, and I would pay particular attention to the launch of Seagate's new Momentus 5400 FDE.2 disk drives (supported by TPMs and Wave's Trusted Drive Manager) expected next month. These drives are of strong interest to government agencies such as the NSA and in my opinion will be inside the first PCs with TPMs to be activated by the government. Once the government publicly announces activation of their installed base of TPM equipped PCs and implementation of Wave applications, Wave's onging efforts to sell to the general enterprise market will accelerate. These efforts are currently concentrated through their association with Dell and Dell customers in North American, Europe and Japan.

While much of what you wrote in 1999 and 2000 was on the mark, you have no doubt learned that the landscape is very different now for Wave and its potential market. You can certainly write another article with good entertainment value that dwells on Wavoids and their perceived idiosyncracies but I firmly believe that a New York Times article more focused on the merits and potential of trusted computing and Wave will in the end be more relevant and memorable in the years ahead.

Thank you for your interest in our company,

New Wave

Andy, RE: Danny Hakim's article

Characters Welcome....

:)

While the technology should be the only thing that matters in writing about this company,
there are so many Interesting thing about investors and "others" that follow this company, that it would make good copy. Hopefully it will be done tastefully and not meant to harm those who have worked so hard over the years to make the shift to trusted computing a reality. People who against all odds have finally achieved their goal.

There are many types that follow this company. On the various boards you have all types, from a local who stalk the management in their home town, to people whom spend 24/7/365 trying to save the rest from loosing money on this investment. People who have nothing in their lives to save them droning on day after day with their opinions on the company who is destin to fail. These are the people who have stories that will sell papers. In reality, most on this board are regular average working people who were looking to invest in new technology and spend time to do the research necessary to understand up coming technology. Bashers vs. Researchers is a small ratio.

The human interest should be the people who come together to share the research, not the sensationalist happenings. These people are the ones who kept this company going because of that understanding. These are the people who took the time to see the vision of the future of technology.

Everyone from Moms and Dads and their children and grandchildren to Doctors , teachers, accountants and surfers. :) People from all walks of life with the common goal to find a new technology that will take hold in the world that will eventually help them out financially. We are investors. We are all here to look for the truth in the future of Trusted Computing. We do a GREAT deal of research. The research done on this board is like no other. There are precious few other companies that are put under a microscope quite like this one. The thing that makes us different is the amount of research that we do and SHARE. The main purpose of the message board is to Share the research we find with others who also care about this paradigm change. Each person is not so different than another man on the street other than the fact that we all have stumbled across what we believe will be a company that will make it big in the would of security and are willing to place our bets on the basis of the fine research found here.

We are also different because many of were able to find great friendships because of the way we are kind to one another in our manners and the way we freely share our findings.

A large group of selfless kind people make a great community for friendships that transcend any investment in any company.

Maybe we all started out as investors, but it has become a great deal more.




Night all,
