Found by George in the Boca Beacon here in Certiland, Florida this morning. :o)
Just kidding--nice announcement below by CIC this am. Close to my heart ('military grade'- comes with a free shoe shine in every box).
First of the "Content" announcements Rick Dalmazzi refered too at the AGM. This is an example of Data content security. Now we should look forward to Audio and Video content security deal (s) in the near future. Excellent new product line. New lines just keep rolling out. I like the name "eCertain"-- the branding of CIC gets stronger!
