I think Cameron is using the type of wireless scanners that stores have, not the ones that hook up to the your PS/2 keyboard port. They are basically PDAs with barcode scanners built in. They come in various different flavors and can even run linux. Some even come with label printers so you can scan the UPC symbols, search the store's database for the sale price and print off the price tag. -- Mark Lane, CET -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sales Manager -- Hard Data Ltd -- http://www.harddata.com T: 01-780-456-9771 -- F: 01-780-456-9772 11060 - 166 Avenue Edmonton, AB, Canada, T5X 1Y3 --> Ask me about our New Dual and 4 Way Blade Servers <-- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
