Interesting report just this week. The average driver takes 6 years to recoup
gas savings on Prius, 8 on the other misc hybrids and 27 years!!! On the Volt.
Not that saving money is the entire point of “going green”.
Was laughing at the last post. Have friends who bought a 5th wheel trailer
and truck to “live off the grid”. I figured unless they knew how to farm their
food, make ethanol fuel from the corn and live by a river, “off the grid” was
open to interpretation…..

I'll actually take both. I typically am not a fan of electric cars, but I'd
love to have a Tesla. Very fast and sweet looking. I just don't wanna pay for
it. (I speaks English goodly - don't forget adverbs have typically have the
"ly" at the end. >:-).

Bradley,
I swear I'm not trying to be a jerk or a smart aleck but I couldn't help but
laugh when I read about the Tesla not using any fossil fuels. Unless you guys
plug it into a freestanding solar or wind farm that is completely off the
electricity grid, you all are using fossil fuels to charge the battery, :-).

Subject: [optimal] OIS is now Merge Healthcare- Vendor Posting
Hi Optimal Folks,
As a vendor, we appreciate being allowed to observe and we are careful
to post infrequently and only when it seems warranted. We think posting at
this time seems appropriate- to update the community in the exciting changes
taking place at OIS.
In August of 2011, Merge Healthcare (MRGE) fully acquired OIS, along
with the OIS subsidiaries Abraxas Medical, OIS Global (Israel) and OIS Europe
(Belgium).
Merge Healthcare is a leading provider of enterprise imaging and
interoperability solutions. Merge solutions facilitate the sharing of images
to improve the electronic healthcare experience. Merge provides solutions for
radiology, cardiology, orthopaedics, eye care, clinical trials, financial and
pre-surgical management; electronic health record and practice management
solutions; applications that fuel the largest modality vendors in the world,
and a network of patient-centric, wellness stations.
Some of the vendors in the ophthalmic space use DICOM development
toolkits provided by Merge.
While there have been many changes, like all the orange, many things
have stayed the same. The majority of eye care solutions team, including sales,
product, support, field service, (yes Mick Clark and Andy May and the rest of
the team) and project management became employees of Merge Healthcare.
Together, we continue to work hard in the delivery of the service and products
we have been known for over the 28 years that OIS has been in this industry.
While we have decided to discontinue the handheld Eye Scan unit, our WinStation
image capture product, now known by the name Merge Eye Station continues, and
we have launched a new model at this past AAO. Our Symphony Web product is
now called Merge Eye Care PACS Viewer. The branding transition will continue
to other areas of the product as we have normal scheduled software releases;
and new features are on the horizon for all the product lines that are quite
exciting.
We look forward to continuing to serve this community, wearing orange
ties, displaying an orange Tesla in our booth at AAO, and most especially with
an invigorated innovative approach that challenges competitors, and serves the
Eye Care Community. Why the Tesla by the way? Good question- At Merge, we
believe there is no problem the Healthcare community faces, that cannot be
solved when the right minds, converge, with innovation, and a drive to make it
happen. The Tesla represents that spirit, accelerating from 0-60 in under 4
seconds, with a top speed of over 100mph, while not using any fossil fuels.
If you arrive at AAO early enough, you might catch us driving it
through the exhibit hall before all the freight arrives. (Ok, not really)
Finally, I want to answer the question that prompted the note- We do
offer the FAF solution, in its second generation, as we did before.
Thanks for the forum and opportunity to update you all.
Warm Regards,
Bradley Yates
