Why go to all that trouble when branding iron technology has been around for so many years?

I suppose the barcodes are quieter, but postcodes and branding..........

When you move,and change postcodes, do you get to leave the children behind?

I found a place that creates dog tag-like necklaces with a barcode of your name (up to 12 characters). I had one made and had them engrave my postcode on the back. I'll be wearing it to the Ffiesta.

Cheers,

gailfus - do tell where you found such a thing!

My very nerdly friends would love to have one too. Especially my brother - the one that is SO hard to buy presents for.

I sent him a picture of the building that had the name of the company painted in bar code on one of the outside walls - he was trying to figure out how he could do that on his house and not have his wife hurt him.
