tampa, FWIW I read your thoughts and many others probably do too. You appear to have your own business and we need a business prospective even it is unpopular with some.
Doma, awk and some others also make valuable contributions and are very much needed here.
Combined, this is all entertainment while we (or some of us) wait for some valadation we aren't the total idiots our detractors think we are.
BTW the way, my free download post yesterday was intended to be funny but I am starting to think about a trial system of some sort for Wave because of the millions of PC users who are not going to have TPM's anytime soon, or white boxes and will have HP and IBM PC's which IMO will not bundle ETS anytime soon. Would any us of be happy if Wave found a way to get a cheap (say $3 to 5) subscription fee per year for the PIM and Document Manager from some of the millions of current PC users?
As a not so random sample of one PC user, my greatest concern is that someone gets access to my financial acount ID's and Passwords. I would pay $5 per year to store and encript that information even without a TPM and take my changes that a keystroke logger isn't watching when I set it up. I would pay for a USB Envoy type dongle, which I still think is a great idea.
This would force Wave to (gasp) sell or try to sell through the Internet. It seems to be so much more fun to spent years creating a standard and then selling to the toughest market, the PC oem's, and trying to get the government and the GE's to adopt new technology, ignoring an even larger market of prospects available today. Not that they haven't made amazing progress and may yet pull it off.
Just some thoughts while I watch us close lower again.
