Oh yes - True - I forgot about that particular example. Somewhat similar to the Sales example I mentioned. But, yes - I have seen a NUMBER of places - where the "Cash register" & Order Entry were actually Tablets. I've seen this a number of times - and usually I query the person about what it is - iPad/Surface/etc. - although, as the worker - they generally don't know the answer. But, yes - that's a really Good example. Especially since with the Order Entry - you can track what people like - and change menus or Store inventory based upon past activity!

Another example. Went to the Apple store yesterday and bought a MacBook Air. The demonstrator/salesperson used a smartphone to place the order, enter the Credit Card, and print the receipt. No cash register involved. But back at the office, somebody is running the sales and accounting system. And they're using a desktop!
