Maybe this could be set up to work like those name tag things on the MIT
website, using IR to indicate a series of True false variables (up to 8) and
then issue a compatability rating of 1-8. other algorithms include using 4
true/false pairs andusing the remaining 4 bits to indicate importance giving you
a possibility of calculating a rating on a scale of 0-127!
