Regarding O'Hare, Ford, and MOT (what next?) . . . Contrary to some recent postings on the threads, I don't think we are going to see anything on MOT beyond advertising in the next couple of quarters. However, the advertising can only do us good. IDX sure doesn't have the multi-million dollar budget to put its name in these ads the way Motorola is doing. As to Ford, we can hope that Ford will be a reference account for a PC OEM, but any ignition system is a ways away . . . and it probably is TRW connected. I've seen some TRW quotes about their hopes for car ignition systems (TRW is a car supplier, so they think that way). One Yahoo poster says that TRW is using Veridicom (given the "$50 chip" cited to, it doesn't look like Ford has looked at the IDT lower-priced alternative that hasn't quite been introduced to the public yet). O'Hare is another story. We could see a PR on that any day, and if we do, the timing would be ideal.
