Please so. You're burning yourself uselessly against progress. I find it funny. In todays world, these techs WILL come in. USE them, DO something with them. Come up with your own techs. But trying to turn back the clock puts you in the same category, for me, as the treehugger greens. RFID chips are too small to EMP shield. I for one have a device which can burn em out, constructed from common-as-heck components. People WILL return dead products if they rely on RFID, constantly, because if you say put em on most monitors, they'd burn out. RFID itself isn't robust enough. Other RFID-like techs might be in the future. We'll see... Andy Dawn Falcon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
