Okay Rodster, we got news today.......lets see if the thread can liven up a little.

My thoughts on the PR today:

1) Issuance of PR a positive......Bruce said it would happen and it did.

2) Warrentech is a public company so information is verifiable.

3) Hopefully $ amount announced is a minimum and conservative.

4) The application of the bare code technology and software is new and demonstrates that there can be many and varied uses.

5) The length of time it took for the public release of the information tells me that TRKR is being very careful to do things in the right order and in a conservative manner.

I welcome any contradiction and/or discussion of these points and others.

PS Does anyone else think that TRKR's technology could be applied to the Federal Government's plan/wish to issue health ID cards and keep a central data base of individual medical information. We could have a label affixed to our foreheads and just be scanned when we need health care. The contract with the Federal Government could be substantial.
