Microsoft Fingerprint by brianjdupuis on 03-03-2005 at 01:57 AM

Well today I felt like spending some money, so I went out and went to Futureshop and bought the coolest little gadget. I'm not going to ramble on about this Micrsoft fingerprint reader just wanted to say it's really worth it and makes things so much more fun!

GREAT GADGET 10/10
Thanks

Apparently it doesn't work with Opera or Firefox, confirm?

I'm thinking of getting one myself.

Does it let you use it instead of passwords for account log-in? Otherwise it's pointless :P

I might consider purchasing one of those. Could you explain how it works, how good it is, etc.?
