Tndoughboy, I just got off the telephone with Bruce Lewis. Some one sent him your post and he appreciates the shareholder comments. Answer to your questions are: 1. The Tracker tag has a human readable telephone number which one can call. Tracker will have the item picked up and delivered to the owner. Cost to tracker is $10.00 2. Yes there is a yearly charge for the service and the rate would depend on what you want tracked. You would need to contact Tracker for detailed price information. Following up on the financing with Witt and Symbol,it is proceeding and is in the hands of the lawyers for paperwork processing. Tracker is a small pond in a big ocean. These are big companies and it takes time for all the legal paperwork to be processed. Patience. The future looks bright for TRKT IMHO. Don
