UNOVA Changes Name to Intermec, Inc. New NYSE ticker symbol IN The name change reflects the company's transformation over the last eight years from a manufacturing systems and technology company focused primarily in the automotive and aerospace industries to a global leader in mobile computing and automated data collection technology.
I've had this since it was PPS $11. Now that Intermec sold the Landis part of the organization, the bottom line will really improve more. 2006 the RFID market will take off. Should buy in with a leader in the field.

Not your original subject, but . . .Do you have any insight about Global Triad (GBTD) since the reverse split? I can't find info anywhere as to what's up with this thing. There was the GTRD message board which ceased after 12/23. Since then, no follow up messages to be found about this stock. Am I looking in the wrong place for GBTD discussions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think it is still a very good time. Look at ZBRA & SBL as a comparison. Since UNOVA (Intermec) sold their money loser Landis Corp., they will now consentrate on the technology wave of RFID. See : http://www.rfidjournal.com/ for some information on the technology. True, there are many players in this field. Do your own DD pick one and get in.
