I've been reading a lot about the "Year 2000" problem and I wonder if it is something we need to be concerned about with regard to IDX. I mean, just how much of a problem will it be for IDX? Does anyone have any idea if Identix has any specific problems related to Year 2000? Should we be worried? Should we get a statement from Randy about how they are going to deal with it???? Any suggestions? Anyone? What about government contracts? If any organization is going to be left behind in this Year 2000 problem it will probably be our government agencies. They are too slow and inept, but we have a lot of doings with them. Of course, the whole world has to deal with this and I must confess I see big problems ahead. Rick

Buck, unfortunately this bill refers to digital, like not analog, like 0's and 1's, instead of digits like fingers. Confusing, huh? It's like the certificates that you might have seen mentioned on your browser software, that basically cannot be duplicated except by you, can be verified to have come from no one else, and also, very important, proves that the document has not in any way been altered in transit. And us old folks can remember when a fax wasn't even acceptable! Great caving story, Buck. We may be hurtin', but we ain't drownin'. Reminds me of a deflation story. Price of everything keeps dropping, getting cheaper all the time. Stocks, gold, real estate, houses, all dropping. I'm walking by the marina, and a guy yells over to me, "Hey, we got yachts for a dollar a foot, and all I can do is walk up and down the dock saying, 'My, ain't that cheap!'"
