I'll second that. I bought 2 of the cards from GEM and
both hada Northstar compass package on them. The cards
seemed to be named for the persons that used them.
I did a little digging (via google) and found the following
article:

Apparently, Northstar compass was a pharmaceutical
ordering/tracking application. I've tried running the application,
but I keep getting an error stating that the software cannot
handle the current date. I've tried changing the date back
to 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999, but I keep getting the same
error. Some of the buttons indicate syncing and replicating
capabilities for the application. Looks pretty sophisticated.
I've erased one of the cards (needed the space), but the
other card still has the application on it.
