Caroline Do you think banks are going to publicly announce each crime that is committed in the banK? Internal stealing, Fraud. Wouldn't that look good to depositors. The only thing we hear is bank robbers and if they are caught. The rest is buried in expenses. Ron

Caroline, In the case of a company that has one part that is very rapid growth....and the other good stable lower growth....it often makes sense to break them apart. US West did this.....Brooktrout did this.....many, many companies do this...as a way to unlock shareholder value...by boosting the growth rate of the company......and boy does it work. If VRSN owned a division that produced nails......and the nail business was good...but a 15% grower......Would it not make sense to sell it off, or spin it off.....so that they could put the money and effort into another business that might grow at 40%...or 80%?.....buy back stock to increase earnings per share?......Buy EnTrust?...Buy IDX? Well sure! I think the money that IDX could raise by the sale of ANADAC could be used for many purposes.....buying back stock, buying other biometric companies that have a product that IDX could use.....and so on. IDX is probably making 15% on their ANADAC investment.....could they make 30% somewhere else? It will happen.......as the Bio-ID market takes off......it will make more and more sense. It is an event I'm looking forward to. It will be a very positive event for shareholder value. IDX needs to be a Bio-ID stock.......The more pure-play, the better. That's where the explosive growth will be. bg ps. Also....Alert!...The Commission has now upgraded IDX again.....right now. We are now at a quadruple screaming, quadruple table pounding buy. We not only believe that IDX will be a super stock short term.....but long term as well.......We think IDX is at fly away....right now......and will be moving into new trading ranges...at higher levels. He he.....we are now on record......Let's see if we "find our nut".
