Joe, No problem, Joe. Won't be able to catch the report tonight. Let me know what it says, if you wouldn't mind. The thing that excites me about DDSI's livescan product is that, if it works as advertised, you get rid of the expensive dedicated workstation, which is a huge cost for law enforcement. The major struggle here in Minnesota is how to pay for livescan. Everybody recognizes its benefits, but noone has the budget to implement existing technology. The state has bitten the bullet here and has tried to begin outfitting smaller jurisdictions, but they can't do it all. So, if the day comes that DDSI's product is accepted, it will be a major boon because you can use an existing PC. What will be extremely important for DDSI, however, is system compatibility. If they want to sell systems, they will have to make sure they are implementing the same standards as those being used in existing systems. That will allow jurisdictions to begin migration toward the "new world" without totally junking existing infrastructure. Should be fun to watch this one. Wish I had a better sense of how the stock might move near term. Happy Easter, Rick
