Hey Jim, thank you for sharing the experience of talking to some of the BOD members, seeing RMTR's stock price going south is painful, but there is not a whole lot we can do in this economy, our RMTR executives look like saints compare to those in the financial sector. We can only hope that F-RAM continues to proliferate. Your point about the medical charge card is a good one, not only it provides for quick and convenient access, it may just change the whole landscape of health insurance. We really need to change the employer sponsor model to a more portalable and personalized model (probably similar to that of auto insurance or credit rating). Medicare is going to bust probably in less than 30 years, not just because of the imbalance of workers vs baby boomer retirees, but the cost the treating preventive diseases is astronomical. We can't simply put this burden on the future generation. As a human being, we need to be accountable of our own health and finances (there are exceptions), but most of us aren't doing a very good job in either right now. Hopefully, F-RAM will be inside the card that may end up becoming a part of the rescue story. To be pro-active, the best thing is to start making products with F-RAM inside. Somebody please step forward....
