Conversion from paper, but also conversion from Micro film. A while back, I read a story about one of the big banks and how much they would spend putting canceled checks on micro film, and then the savings of doing digitally from both input costs, storage and dynamic access. I suppose they'll really be looking up your dress with a microscope when they do that.

There was another article about Walmart wanting to put tracking devices on shopping carts and then build a huge database showing traffic patterns and buying patterns. I guess if they figure if they build their data enough, they an fine tune amazing profits out of their stores.

Regards,
