Brad, Can't say that it does. I know that NRI sold their healthcare to XL Vision. As XL Vision likes to buy stuff from NRI and then do nothing about it, I am not holding my breath. You remember XL Vision, it was the only "multi-million" deal NRI has had. They bought a lot of seats and then realized that their scanner only works in a static free environment. So seeing as Intel did not want to secure their "clean rooms," there was no way they were going to unload their stupid scanners. What I find funny is that in the conference call, SFE management said that Who?Vision would IPO this year. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that.... But I learned something from all these years of confusing myself with biometrics. If, for whatever reason, I need to use someone else's ID, I do not need to cut off the person's finger. Yep, it seems like the next technological breakthrough is vulnerable to nutbags like me who will carry a balloon around with them. When I come upon a scanner I am not authorized to use, I will rub that baby on my hair. That should cause enough static to knock out the whole computer network. You weren't trying to make a point, were you? Because at this point, I would rather joke around about NRI, rather than worry about it. After NRI gets financing, I'll re-evaluate the way I feel about it. In any event, forgive me for being not serious if you were. That is, assuming you were serious: what do you mean? Regards, Bob P.S. Now if I can only find a way to outsmart SACM's new scanner that you were talking about. Maybe I'll hold up a picture of my stock broker. That way the machine will think I am a different a$$hole. P.P.S: I saw a new driver on the market (info-mercial). The shaft is Kevlar so it "twists" less and the titanium head has low-grade diamonds "permanently" bonded to it. Have you heard anything about it?
