steve, Someone just bought 40k block of Printrak. I think they are in play. It would be interesting to see them be gobbled up by one of the big boys. I think Printrak is getting killed in the marketplace by NEC Technologies (21 series)....and really needs the marketing muscle and deep pockets that a big boy would bring along. Just a prediction......consolidation and positioning. bg

Steve, I couldn't agree more!!! Twelve years ago I was listening to these same threads (person2person). "Why doesn't Randy toot his horn"..."Wake up Wall Street". There is still a lack of public info. and I don't understand why? He layed the ground work for the law inforcement agencies back then. We've grown to 9+ states and maybe it does take a rocket scientist to have the idx vision. state to state connection for law inforcement-global (No where for a criminal to run). computerized fingerprint security(LA School)for all employers with the need for high security ie:"...in late 80's an angry X-usair employee walked on a PSA flight (being fired but, still in possession of his usair picture id.)...he passed through security unchecked and carring a loaded gun. During the flight he shot his supervisor, both pilots and himself, needless to say there is a monument on some farmers property in No. Calif. Nothing was recovered... Hospitals and pharmacies, banking, M/C'S and Atm's, computers and cell phones, home security(as in japan)and Automobile alarms and entry systems etc,etc. The need is there-fill the need! Summer olympics in Spain(?) some years ago. Idx installed some units to be tested for an annual pass to the events using fingerprint system. Some years ago I remember Idx was to put its system on the Amex exchange floor for the employees to gain entrance.(Notice the word was)can anyone check this out? I believe Randy opened it that day? Anyway, its taken twelve years to push this snowball to the top. I just hope IDX gets the ride down the otherside. Steve's remark about IBM struck a cord. 9,000 shares, 12years later and still holding. Debra P.S. In on Nrid too. Thx
