I have been pleasantly surprised by the outpouring of interest in this flight,

This year I wanted to get the buzz out there and create some interest, ... Like any organization getting off the ground, you keep building and getting better and better at it. That's how we're gonna do it.

The conquest of space is not merely a technological project of interest to a handful of select scientists and specialists, valuable though that research and information may be.

It's a special-interest program that I thought would be good to offer because there were a lot of people who needed repairs and couldn't afford to have them done.

Clearly, risks do exist and there is no doubt that some will get into trouble, especially if interest rates are forced up suddenly, but a structural rather than cyclical change seems to have occurred.

One area of interest to us is identity management. One technology that we would be interested in looking at is smart-card technology with respect to accessing IT services. We're interested in using smart cards for user log-ins.
