Just an FYI this company is a royal pain to deal with. I have their first line of fingerprint Identification Systems, and have talked with tech support more than I would care to admit. Their software is MS OS specific, eg: 98 doesn't work on NY, doesn't work on 2000, etc. And the do not support ANY UNIX operating systems. Just a heads up.

Call me morbid, but hypothetically speaking, if someone were to cut off your finger, would it all them access to your files?
This may at first seem like a silly question to ask, but in other countries some ATMs are outfitted with fingerprint pass-keys
instead of passcodes like we have in the U.S. And they have worked out the technology, so one would not be able to cut
off someone's finger and use it. Don't ask me how, but I read up on this stuff several years ago. One of the many reason
that we haven't gone to fingerprint pass-keys in the U.S. is the bottom line (MONEY). The banks do not want to have to
retrofit all their ATMs with this feature. It would cost them millions and millions.
