I think for a company that is partly in Aisan. IDX is holding up pretty good. I hope
that means good things are just down the road.
When the market turns to the BEARS people put their money where they know it is
safe. The low volume and little drop in price, to me on a day like today is good IDX.
As well as for IDX holders.

I just got the February issue of Individual Investor magazine. Page 13 contains a full length ad for Salomon Smith Barney's "Top Picks for '98". You can get a free copy by dialing (800) Earns-it x665. The ad also lists their website www.smithbarney.com, so it may be there too.
Hope their "Internet pick of the Year" gets some good exposure.
Good news! The II Magic 25 is only down 2.3% for the period 11/18/97 through 12/11/97 vs S&P and DJIA being up about 2%.
I think the low volume is because all those inclined to sell did so in December to take tax write-offs and the rest of us know that several big things are just around the corner. A couple of good announcements and some price momentum could bring in new buyers, especially if we get some recommendation and EPS upgrades.

Cops to get high-tech help
by Mark Brown
Cook County Reporter
Two major contracts melding law enforcement with the latest in technology were approved Tuesday by the Cook County Board.
At the recommendatipon of Sherriff Michael Sheahan, county commissioners chose NEC Technologies of Rolling Meadows, to provide a new computer-aided fingerprinting and mug shot system for the county's suburban police departments. They also selected SecurityLink of Oak Brook to install a new system for home monitoring of criminal defendants.
NEC Technologies bid $8.9 million to put in the new electronic fingerprinting system, which is expected to greatly reduce the time it takes to identify suspects with criminal records.
The project, which is expected to cost $13 million to $14 million total, is being financed partly with a $10 million federal grant.
The countywide computer system is expected to be operating by year-end. It will replace the traditional ink roll method of fingerprinting and allow suburban police to identify criminal suspects in seconds.
The current process can take hours or days, occasionally allowing suspects who use aliases to win release on bond before their identities are determined, sheriff's spokesman William Cunningham said.
Chicago already has a computerized fingerprinting system.
Rest of article was about SecurityLink
Hope that helps.

I don't think that NEC has released anything on this win yet. Next week should see more info.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 22, 1997--
NEC Technologies Selected To Provide Automated Fingerprint
Identification System
NEC Technologies Inc., a pioneer and world leader in the development, marketing and implementation of Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) technology for law enforcement, today announced plans to begin installation of a new AFIS system for the Providence, R.I. Police Department.
The NEC AFIS21 system will maintain the existing 40,000 fingerprint records and fully support the department's criminal identification needs in the future.
"It has always been my objective to bring the most advanced technology available to the Providence Police Department and the recent acquisition of the NEC AFIS accomplishes that goal," said Providence Police Chief Urbano Prignano. "Having our own database enables the department to solve more crimes from latents and enhances our ability to utilize latent print evidence without having an identifiable suspect," he added.
The Providence Police Department AFIS system includes three NEC LS-21 live scan workstations. Installed in the Department's men's cellblock, women's detention area, and Bureau of Criminal Identification, the LS-21 workstations capture fingerprint images electronically, thus yielding sharper images for better fingerprint records. Electronic transmission of the records can be initiated from the LS-21 units to the department's central AFIS, with
future communication capability to the department's criminal history database and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The department's AFIS also includes NEC's FMP-5 fingerprint matching processor. The FMP-5 is designed to conduct high-speed matching with a massive parallel processing architecture. The built-in NEC proprietary matching algorithm achieves the highest accuracy rate available in the industry. This processor's matching units are among the fastest in the industry, each capable of conducting up to 3,200 fingerprint comparisons per second.
The Providence Police Department's NEC AFIS system will also be able to access that of the neighboring Connecticut State Police, which currently maintains approximately 1.2 million tenprint records. Criminal activity has been traced between the two jurisdictions and access to each database increases the chance of investigation resolution.
Installation of the Providence AFIS system is scheduled for completion by March of 1998.
NEC is recognized as the industry leader in Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems, latent identifications, and large (greater than one million records) networked AFIS systems. Based in Washington, D.C., NEC Technologies' AFIS Division markets AFIS products for law enforcement and jail management; commercial finger imaging products for vertical markets, including social services, access control, immigration and motor vehicles; and
HealthID finger imaging products for the healthcare market. The company installed its first law enforcement AFIS in North America at the San Francisco Police Department in 1983, and its first HealthID system in LaPorte Hospital, Ind., in 1995. The more than 50 NEC law enforcement AFIS systems installed worldwide contain fingerprints on more than 50 million subjects. These systems have solved more crimes using latent prints than all other
AFIS systems in the world combined. Information about NEC's AFIS products can be found on the Web at nec.com or by contacting Chris Warner, product manager for NEC AFIS at 888-AFIS-NEC.
