steve, sounds like a very conservative estimate based on sales now and adding a few for good luck! Personally I'm tired of the damn keys, so I think it will be much, much higher! P.S. Right now in Russia, you can buy all the Vodka you can drink in four lifetimes for a hundred dollars. If the stock keeps going down, I'm taking a few hundred and heading there! Does anyone know any toasts in Russian? P.S.S. Sold my house today and bought an earth shelter house. That way when I jump out the window I can't possibly hurt myself. P.S.S.S. Thanks Ascom, you are a real friend! Thanks for not wrecking the stock!

To all, general Smart Card info... "Stop Piloting, Start Rolling Out, Expert Tells U.S. Banks" "U.S. financial institutions and other card issuers are more likely to opt for full-fledged stored-value smart card program rollouts from now on, rather than limited pilots, says Henry Dreifus, CEO of consultancy Dreifus Associates Ltd., Longwood, Fla. "There's very little value left in piloting. The days of the pilot are dead," he says, because issuers no longer want to experiment with the technology. Rather, he says, they want to put it to practical use. Dreifus says the greatest activity in the United States will come with cards that can be used for more than one application. He notes that applications such as pay TV authorization account for the greatest number of smart cards in use today in the United States, yet receive the least public attention." cardtech.faulknergray.com steve
