Is IDX deploying a next-generation AFIS product in Ohio? Take a look at this Yahoo link: messages.yahoo.com Next, I checked a September 28, 1998, AP story on Ohio AFIS: "A high-tech system designed to identify criminal suspects by using a computer to cross-check fingerprints is being spread around Ohio, state Attorney General Betty Montgomery said Monday. "'We are expanding the capability of our automated fingerprint system,' Montgomery said during a news conference at the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab. "The computer technology enables authorities to quickly compare fingerprints found at a crime scene with 12 million fingerprints of people convicted of serious crimes. Previously, the only way to match fingerprints was to compare them against a few known suspects. . . . "Montgomery said the computer hardware and software has been in use by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation at BCI labs in London, Richfield and Bowling Green. "The technology has now been distributed to the Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab in Dayton, the Cleveland Police Forensic Lab, the Hamilton County sheriff's office and the Toledo, Columbus and Cincinnati police departments, she said. "Montgomery said the $571,000 price tag of the new technology was taken from her budget and provided to the law enforcement agencies at no cost to them." Dublin, Ohio, referenced in the Yahoo post, is a suburb of Columbus. steve, I believe you found and posted a photo of a new IDX device that had a fingerscanner and a small camera on a stalk (it looked kind of spooky) that connected up to Ohio.

Ron, Yesterdays late action was much better than Wed. 7000 @ 8 about 3:45 was more to my liking. How about if you chase the buyers in at lunch and I try to keep any late sellers at bay? <LOL> Another higher low for the day. This can't keep up forever unless of course IDX breaks higher. Maybe Wexler will cover today and help us out!
