I think it does sound like it is just a way to cart the images around. Not having an iPOD, I am surprised that it has that much memory, etc., but it is good that it is bringing this project out of obscurity. It will be interesting to see how things fall out with the AFD because I think what

I'd personally rather have a smart card that linked me to a network. The network would pull down and put in the latest medical data but only after I authorized it with my card. Having all my data on the card (or iPod) would be dangerous - especially since my wife can't usually find her insurance

Gentle folk; Scheduling is one of the oldest packages in VistA. As such, it needs the most re-engineering. It is a fertile field for a re-write. Use the functionality as it currently stands as a black box of functionality. From there, we can start re-implementing this central piece of the
