Loretta, I did same research, came to conclusion that SACM would be one of the great all-time shorts. I now regret that statement. Look at the following extract:
>>The technology from SAC Technologies captures a bitmap of a fingerprint, from which a
patented algorithm creates a digital 'wire frame map.' This is converted to a 'mathematical model' (Bio-Key) to
be used for matching. <<

This sounds EXACTLY like IDX's patented algorithm for Pattern Recognition. This is EXTREMELY ALARMING imho, as much has been made here of the premise that anyone can make a scanner, it's all in the software, etc, etc. I don't think these guys are going to compete head-up against us everywhere. However, what I'm concerned about is the ease with which an undercapitalized, out-in-the-sticks company can come up with state-of-the-art competitive technology and get aligned with Novell. They at least can hire marketing people who get the job done!!!!
