I know it has been a long wait on this market. I haven't had to wait as long as some of you, so perhaps that is why I am more patient. My view is that the bio-ID market is not going to creep into view, a few sales at a time. It is much more likely to be jump started by major institutional sales -- like a few million Bank of America scanners, or even a few tens of millions of Mastercard scanner purchases. Government and corporate enterprise network purchases can occur in the 50,000 to 150,000 range. None of that is here now, but all the wiring is being put down for it. Big investments are being made in virtual private network infrastructure, hardware and software. It is still possible that this market won't happen, but the chances are it will. When it arrives, it will come in like thunder. You won't know what hit you, in terms of scale. It either happens that way, or it doesn't come off at all.
