Thank you so much for writing. I appreciate the extra information and will certainly forward this to my editor. I was truly amazed at the possibilities of Paperclick - way past the "neato" factor. But unfortunately, the Tribune limited the inches I had for the story (as every paper does with every reporter). I hope I gave readers a good idea, though, of the different types of transactions it can perform.
Thanks again for writing, and mostly, thanks for reading.

High Victoria. I just wanted to say thank you for the terrific article on NeoMedia. However, NeoMedia is a publically traded company under the ticker NEOM.OB. I represent a group of investors in NeoMedia. I'd like to take a moment and point out a few items to you. I felt your coverage of NeoMedia may need to be more defined as to all the capabilities that PaperClick can perform.

DARPA & FEG:
Don't forget about Ron Parsons of SRP. SRP Consulting is a multi-national consulting firm with offices world wide and in major cities here in the USA and Canada. SRP's office in Maryland is involved with Neom because of proximity with Government Agencies in Washington. Ron's name is on center, left hand side.

Well said. Most new inventions are met with frought and skepticism. It's only human nature. Don't forget, Critical Mass is needs only 10% of the populus to bring about a 90% chane in the way people adapt to a new technology. This is a powerful Universal Principal. I think once this technology is previewed and in a proper forum, it will ignite.
I also liked the article because it presents compelling public awareness or the lack thereof; a guide for which NEOM can now change course and tack by a degree or two.
Its similar to a fine-tuned engine. Like PaperClick, the engine is built and able to perform powerfully well. All that is needed to push out the additional horsepower is a minor adjustment. As road conditions change, so will the adjustments. But it is built, up and running! All the Best, JP

Bush's Anti-Drug Plan Targets Painkillers, Stimulants
Government Wants to Track Patients' Use of Prescription Medicines
By JENNIFER C. KERR, AP
WASHINGTON (March 1) - President Bush's national anti-drug strategy will for the first time target the use of pain relievers, sedatives and stimulants for nonmedical purposes, a problem that has exploded in the last decade.
A key part of the strategy being released Monday involves government efforts to help states develop monitoring systems to track a patient's use of prescription medicine. The monitoring programs flag cases that indicate a pattern of abuse, such as "doctor shopping," where a patient gets prescriptions for drugs from multiple physicians.
Prescription medicine now ranks second, behind marijuana, among drugs most abused by adults and young people, said the report by the White House's Office of National Drug Control Policy. It cited a recent study by the Health and Human Services Department.
Twenty states have prescription monitoring programs, the report said. John Walters, director of the drug policy office, said he expects to expand the program to 11 more states by next year. About $10 million in federal funds will bankroll the expansion.
With painkillers such as OxyContin and Vicodin widely available on the Internet, "pill mills" or rogue online pharmacies will come under increased scrutiny.
The Drug Enforcement Administration plans to aggressively pursue pharmacies selling controlled substances illegally over the Internet, an effort that will include deploying modern Web crawler technology to search out those peddling prescription drugs online.
Physician training and education programs will also be a part of the new campaign.
The Drug Policy Alliance, a New York-based group that promotes alternatives including the legalization of marijuana for medical purposes, was skeptical of Bush's strategy. It saw unintended consequences that will end up causing more pain and suffering.
"The principal impact of this campaign when you step up the law enforcement response is that doctors will err on the side of under-treating pain," said alliance Executive Director Ethan Nadelmann. "So any time a doctor is dealing with a patient in pain, their first instinct is not to prescribe enough."
Since 1995, emergency room visits from prescription drug abuse have risen 163 percent, the report said.
To highlight the problem among youth, it noted a University of Michigan study that found abuse by high school seniors of Vicodin more than double the use of cocaine, Ecstasy or methamphetamine. One in 10 seniors, it said, reported nonmedical use of the painkiller.
Mark Surks of Kendall Park, N.J., who lost his son, Jason, a few months ago to a drug overdose, said he had no idea the 19-year-old was buying OxyContin and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax on the Internet.
"I was blindsided," Surks said. "There was no evidence that my son had ever been using any kind of drugs. He was a good kid. He was involved in the religious community, in sports and in music. He had tons of friends. It never crossed my mind that prescription drugs were a problem."
Surks praised the new focus by the White House on prescription drugs.
Bush outlined other facets of his anti-drug strategy during his State of the Union address in January. They include additional financing for drug-prevention efforts and a sharp increase in funds for schools that want to use drug testing to expand early intervention programs.
His proposal to boost funding from $2 million to $23 million for student drug testing has come under fire from some parents, school administrators and civil liberties groups concerned about privacy violations and the effectiveness of the testing.

Nice post. The amount of recent posts has literally blown me away. You guys are truely golden. All the Best, JP
VanGorilla...
Nice post and even nicer website. LeBonTon, nice find as well. I suspect a few of us Longs here have felt that MicroSoft might be overstepping their bounds with their AURA product. As I've said before, the US Host Provider slot is unfilled at present. I have seen indications that Apple and/or HP might very well be interested in this position here in the US, with VodaFone vying for the lead in Europe.
This is going to be quit an exciting next couple of months. And tomorrow, Monday, 03/01/04, Virgin will is required by law to formalize a respone to NEOM's patent infringement suit...treble damages style. I suspect that a mandatory appearance is required with no extensions allowed. Thanks for the heads-up Retired. And SmartBiz, your a DD animal. All the Best. JP
Kxthyag...NasDaq listing requirements...
http://www.nasdaq.com/about/nasdaq_listing_req_fees.pdf
A share buy back is always possible to reduce the share count. So is a reverse split. Not many of us Longs are partial to a reverse split, at least that I know of. I'm not sure of other means by which a company can retire shares in the public float. Retired could probably take a good shot at this one for us.
Also don't forget, XM and Sirius Satelite Radio had enormous amounts of shares in the float when they exploded. When a company becomes hot such as these two did, the shares are bought up quickly by the Big Kahuna's, i.e. Mutual Fund Companies, Hedge Funds, Pension Funds, etc. So, having +160Mil. shares (albeit this quantity maybe out of date) in the float may not be as negative as one might suspect, provided they don't continue to dilute more shares into the float.
Also keep in mind that the float amount is quite different from the outstanding share amount. All the Best, JP

MicroSoft's Aura technology...
SmartBiz, brilliant drill-down on Aura! Here's what I believe may impose an infringement on NEOM's patents as follows:
"You simply point MicroSoft's Aura device at a barcode and the code displays a list of Web links with information about the bar-coded entity. You then select which URLs you want to view and subsequently can call up the information on your PDA about the entity in question..."
Sounds exactly like click to server for bar code data and link to URL server for brand product information. That's 2 servers! And that folks is NEOM's patents!
It would be wise for MicroSoft to cut a deal with NEOM as the North American Host Provider before someone else (Apple, HP, ATT) beats them to the punch. This position is open for enrollement gang, but for a limited time only. More will be revealed. All the Best, JP

I've got it marked in my calander. I see if I can get MudRez to tag along. We're both in NYC, so its a no brainer. SmartBiz, let us know if NEOM will be debuting and launching PaperClick at the Javitz Center this May.
Also, does MicroSoft's Aura technology infringe on NEOM's patents? Has anyone from the board forwarded this information along to Chuck? Do we have a link for Aura?
Great work guys. All the Best, JP

I could not be more pleased with the ABC live coverage on NEOM today. We will began to see some nice runs in the near future. Also, I thought that Chuck emailing it to me was especially nice as well. All the Best, JP

You said a mouth full. I think your approach covers all bases. I believe Digital Rum could issue a single-blanket contract to all their clients; in one go no less. Why not? It would make perfect sense...talk about a explosive way to launch PaperClick. Wow! All the Best, JP

I love this board...
When I come on it, I don't have to take an Excedrin to read the posts, such as on that other board, whats its name again?
Its all about professional and friendly dialogue here. Its kind of like the movie Jerry McGuire with Tom Cruz when Tom Cruz says to his one and only football client "Help me help you."
Alrighty then...back to work and slaying the infamous dragon. All the Best, JP
Haig....
Regarding NEOM's patents, in accordance with the International Patent Protection Agreement, there are 120 countries world wide who actively participate. I suspect that NEOM has been involved in getting their patents covered in this treaty due to the fact NEOM was the first to obtain patents for this technology starting from the late 80's to the present; specifically 1995 was a big one for NEOM. All the Best, JP
Hagi...
NEOM doesn't necessairly need to blow Bango away. What NEOM's approach has been is for firms Bango, Virgin, L-Scan, ScanBuy, etc. whose impose upon NEOM's patents to pay a licensing fee. The fee will allow them to use NEOM's proprietary rights in owning the bridge and ultimately cross it. This aspect of NEOM's business plan is simple, its a freakin Cash Cow. Can you say Moo Moo? The more the merrier. All the Best, JP

Welcome to I-Hub. Know that it hasn't been the same here without you. We miss you and all the brilliant work you have done for us in the past on RB boards. You are always welcome here anytime. We have a place saved for you.
The name MailMan rings a certain note in my mind about an individual who is very bright, articulate and is truely considered (in every sense of the word), a fellow NEOM Long.
By the way, how did you do at the craps table in the Carribean last month?
All the Very Best, JP
Retired...
Well said. Patience is paramount right now. There are alot of open issues that NEOM has on their plate. When any number of these become resolved, then we will see a much higher pps and stability at those higher levels; no doubt about it.
SmartBiz and I were just talking. We both feel that the corrective lens slowed things down a bit. But that issue is not insurmountable. The engineers will have a solution hammered out soon, if it has not already done by now. We also both feel that a service provider will be announced at CeBIT, and I'll give you one guess as to who it will be. Hint, it starts with a V. All the Best, JP

Good morning Neom Longs. Congradulations to all of us who have been loyal, patient and showed perserverence over the last number of months waiting for this truely golden moment: the launch of PaperClick world wide. We're up 25% in oversea's markets gang and going higher here in the USA today.

It's neat to scan back and see how what was said so many years ago are panning out today. The things which are unfolding today such as the rate by which technology becomes obsolete or the rate by which certain technology becomes qunatified and exponential, are all based on Universal Principals. These principals are in play right now as we speak. There is a revolution unfolding right before our eyes. Its like the gold rush of 1849. Everyone wants to be in it and it is a virtual communications revolution.
Look at Chas Fritz last Power Point Presentation:
http://www.neom.com/products/paperclick/PaperClickOverview.pps
Then look at HP's Cool-Town:
http://www.cooltown.hp.com/cooltownhome/cooltown-video.asp
Now look at VodaFones Virtual World Revolution
http://www.vodafone.com/flash/futures/
Its all the same thing: bringing the virtual world to the physical world. Chas Fritz is a Visionary. He was called this in an interview a number of years back. NEOM has hung on by a thread until now to make this technology possible today. Its here and its now!
Did you know that they are experimenting with live 3-D hologram anatomies of the human body in a virtual 360 degree rotational setting? They maybe able to see your entire anatomy including any breaks to bones or tumors by use of advanced scanning technologies by the end of this decade. Altering genetically defective DNA composition is also in reach within the next 20 years. You just don't want all this great technology turning out to be something like Adoux Huxley's Brave New World. Great post by the way. All the Best, JP

Symbian & ScanBuy...
We know that Symbian is hosting ScanBuy's product ScanZoom at the 3GSM conference this week:
http://www.symbian.com/events/3GSM/index.html
What about the suit filed by NEOM and the possibility that a cease and desist order could be imposed on them before the convention? How probable is that?
Regardless, I don't want to loose sight of the fact that we "Own the Bridge" when 2 servers are involved.
Thanks Retired for your last post. It acted as good centering tool. All the Best, JP
Some really great posts guys...
I've been up here in CamelBack Mountain, PA catching some powder with my wife & daughter. So, I'm just dropping to see whats-up with you guys. The computer I'm on is supplied by the hotel. They have this little computer nook which is antiquated Pentium 3 processor, but hell it works.
I a;so expect to hear a PR about numerous issues as well, especially 3GSM nwxt week in Canes France.

I-Hub is a DD machine! You people keep this up and you run the risk of I-Hub's NEOM Board becoming self-aware...like HAL in Space Odessey 2001. "But Dave if you disconnect me, woun't that hurt?"
Which brings me to another point. There is alot of great DD here, as we all know. Is there anybody in the house who is copying Chas and Chuck on these links? My hope is that they would be monitoring this site, and any copying to them would be redundant. Agreed?
I do know that Chas and Chuck read our emials. The statement from Chas lately has been, "Keep em coming." What do you think, should we assign someone to run cross-current, or at least check with them? Thanks. All the Best, JP
