I hate over-hyped claims

[Nathaniel Borenstein <nsb@nsb.fv.com>]

Perception in some quarters to the contrary, I am very averse to
over-hyped claims, and I would therefore like to publicly acknowledge a
factual error in my previous announcement.  I wrote:

This is not quite true, and I should have known better, but I forgot
about the one other example I'd heard of.  I should have said:

> The only known Internet-based solutions that do not require such
> hardware are the First Virtual Internet Payment system, details of which

I apologize to the good folks at GC Tech for this unfortunate mistake. 
They are our competitors, but that does not mean we intended to make any
false or misleading claims about them.

I stand by all my other claims.    -- Nathaniel
