You have to stretch your imagination, but there are two thoughts that these two patents bring to my mind. First, it is time to burry IOM! Second, (this is for those who are entrepreneurs) durable zip diskettes for burial along with your prized possessions..! (You can, for example, take with you a record of all your trading data...).
P.S. Sorry, Mr. Reid. This post was not intended for one person directly, but I could not figure out how to post the msg to myself, so I had to respond to somebody. |
