[DM-MUG] Re: Mac for Point of Sale business use?

[CW Smith]

It's been a while since this thread was last picked up, but I saw this on
Apple's site and thought it might be of some help.  Apparently, a prominent
Italian bakery is using FileMaker for inventory, ordering, accounting, and
POS.

I spoke to XXX at ZZZ Records in downtown Des Moines, and he says he's using
the spreadsheet function of AppleWorks for simple printing of invoices and
receipts, and for his store inventory.  He doesn't have it tied in to his
cash register, but running a redundant cash register is much less expensive
than the $8000 and up POS software packages he was researching.  Seems that
the folks who make business software presume (wrongly) that small business
owners have deep pockets.

Peace,
CW
