It is hard to say from the stories whether or not if Ramp was used but the incident shows how fallible testing can be. First,a filter on a device that screens mail for chemical and biological agents on the Pentagon grounds tested positive for anthrax. Separately, an alert was set off at a nearby satellite mail processing facility. Officials believe that the confusion stemmed from a mistake at a Defense Department laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md. Officials there apparently mixed up a sample of actual anthrax that is kept on hand for comparison purposes with the sample taken from the Pentagon mailroom, a senior administration official said Tuesday. apnews.excite.com I believe that Ramp is easy to use and less likely to produce extraneous errors like these.. Anyway RBM shares did well today. Regards Dick
