Ian,
                   
                  I just faxed the work order for the Oakland 
                  election for Alameda.
                   
                  50 AVTS units (I guess the blue and white - 
                  no modems necessary)
                  30 Spyrus cards (I will need 10 shipped ASAP 
                  for the PIEDMONT election)
                  250 Smart cards (that work with the Spyrus - 
                  I'll need 50 of the Smartcards by Feb.12 for 
                  Piedmont)
                         these 
                  will need the Alameda Logo - Perhaps you can add some 
                  Identifier on the logo to distinguish
                          these 
                  cards from the other 250 cards.
                   
                  I attached a spread sheet to show the amount 
                  we are billing for the Oakland election $196,700 with 50% to 
                  be billed on delivery and 50% billed on certification of the 
                  April 17 election.  By then we'll know about the next 900 
                  units for the UDEL in November.  Please keep me informed 
                  about smart cards and spyrus issues as Jeff Hintz will be 
                  heading to Alameda on Jan. 23 for Logic and Accuracy testing 
                  and will, I'm sure, be asked about how they are creating cards 
                  in the precincts.  
                  Thanks
                  Steve Knecht
