Brad - A similar sentiment from the Yahoo board. Anyone we know?? Jean

It's great to finally see Mr. Fowler promoting the company to the media and to institutional investors.
The last few days he's been everywhere.

Today's press release was certainly something of a nature that I've never seen out of IDX previously.
I believe that Mr. Fowler wants to promote the advantages of pattern recognition systems vs. minutae
(law enforcement type) systems for use in consumer identification. I hope someone takes him up on
his offer to discuss the matter.

I have a feeling he would say that it is not possible to steal someones fingerprint if it has been scanned
by an IDX consumer or business oriented device (TouchView or TouchNet). These devices use a
pattern recognition algorithm that prevents theft of biometric identity.

Let's hope he appears on CNBC sometime next week.

Brad,

We in this thread must remember we are WAY ahead of the general public on this biometric stuff. But the announcement today of the proposed legislation and the IDX announcement about Randy ready for comment about the legislation I find very encouraging. A little hype would be a good thing to get this ball rolling, and apparently Randy feels the time has come to do a little promotion. Let's toot our horn now!!
