Technology Stocks : Identix (IDNX) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

IDX has a far superior performance record in the industry and this is well known in law enforcement. When DBII was thrown out of San Antonio and San Bernardino and replaced with IDX the results are passed along in police meetings etc. Add to their superior products, IDX has in place a far larger and better supported sales force. Now you have the reason that they get 80% of the business. In Ohio we have probably placed about 100 new IDX 10 printers. One county was very positive it wanted DBII and it bought one. Now they are unable to interface with the AFIS system in the State Capital and are in a quandary of what to do. No one gets all the business in any industry. But as long as IDX is getting over 50%, I have a hard time worrying about the competitors. --Always concerned --buy never worry. Ron

Leon, Sell your shares and options. Being worried is no way to live. You will develop heart problems, ulcers, and have trouble getting a good night's sleep. Your sex life can also be effected. Life is short....why worry about trivial things like whether or not to own this stock or that stock. Turn it all over to a professional.....let them worry. Identix is the #1 biometric company....Sales, service, installations, live scan, contract services, bio-ID.....You name it......#1. Here is an excerpt from a Bloomberg story November 18 of this year: "Currently a $25 million-a-year industry, biometrics will, by some estimates, expand to $1 billion by the year 2000. Some predict the rush to install biometrics security systems will replace the Year 2000 computer crisis as the most pressing high-tech project once the millennium arrives." How this could be bad for IDX...I don't know.....but I'm not worried about it......that's for sure. bg
