Past weekend I stopped by the Ice vending kiosk and was pleased to see that they had a card swipe device on it. Cost is 2.00 for 1/2 a cooler of ice 20+ pounds. The bill receiver never seems to work so you have to have a lot of change for 4.00 of ice. I like seeing the plastic swipe device myself in the 2.00 price point of a service. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
