steve,

Online drug sellers will need to figure out a way to authenticate prescriptions......no doubt it is in the best interest of the sellers to set doctors up with the equipment.

May go the same way with on line credit cards.....

What if the estimates of on-line credit card fraud being 4x or 5x that of bricks and mortar...end up being real?

What do you do?.......Master Card can't eat those kind of losses.

Raise credit card interest rates to 38%?.....Nope.

Tack on a $1.00 surcharge to each internet purchase?.....Nope

Have the company eat it?....Nope

I think the internets sellers and the CC companies need to get this stuff out to on-line buyers.......sooner or later...if E-Tailing is really going to work.

bg

ps. Check out a max NRID chart.....$45.00 to $2.50....Yikes! They are our competition on the software side? Who would buy a company with that kind of track record?
