Thanks Steve, Very interesting article. I went to the second part and found: 10. Biometric Technology Impact: 87 Innovation: 126 Total Score: 213 "Biometrics scare consumers. Nonetheless, voice is the biometric to watch. It has none of the inconvenience or scariness of fingerprint or iris ID and--more important--it works with the phone!" --David Stewart, Senior Consultant, Global Concepts, Inc. Identifying people by scanning their irises, capturing their voices or imaging their fingerprints or faces, seems the stuff of Star Trek. But this year, banks both large and small launched pilots of biometric technology to bring greater security to typical banking transactions. Huntington Bancshares, Columbus, OH, is testing iris recognition for ATM security; Chase Manhattan Bank is pursuing voice verification (and enrolled 8,000 customers in the program's first three weeks), and tiny Purdue Employees Federal Credit Union ($200 million in assets) is exploring fingerprint imaging. With the cost of implementing biometric technology steadily falling, these banks anticipate greatly enhanced security at a reasonable price. As we know "tiny Purdue" is us. Who is Chase Manhattan Bank Working with. If it is us or one of our partners, we know why we are at $4.00 and not 5/8's. Also, in the second part was, 2. Internet-Based Home Banking Impact: 131 Innovation: 136 Total Score: 267 "Don't forget the Joe Sixpacks, the Granny Bigbucks, and the Clyde Neeandathalls. They'll never surf." --M. Arthur Gillis, President, Computer Based Solutions, Inc. Security First Network Bank broke this ground late last year, and since then, Internet banking has made significant gains. Researchers are predicting even bigger gains for the future. Booz, Allen & Hamilton expects 16 percent of households (16 million households) will bank by the Internet by 2000. Cambridge, MA-based Forrester Research, Inc. is more conservative; it predicts 7.4 million Internet-banking households by 2001. However, Forrester anticipates Internet banking will far surpass PC banking done through private dial-up connections or the online services: only 2.3 million households will bank through these connections by 2001, Forrester believes. A slew of software introductions, made mostly by start-up firms, back up these bright predictions of Internet banking's future. SAFLINK can provide security for this. Lets see, 2M x $60 x 50% = $60M. Which is about $9 a share, x 20 and we are almost a $200 stock. Now wasn't that fun, but tiring. Somewhat like mental masturbation. The Chase Manh. cite needs exploring. Regards and happy hunting, Sheldon
