Re: [ARSCLIST] ARSCLIST Digest - 23 Oct 2006 to 24 Oct 2006 (#2006-290)

I agree, it's overstating it a bit, but I hoped 
to invoke some interest in reading the actual 
report!
However, using a Clover system does fall in line 
with what I'm trying to say - you find out your 
error rates and can act accordingly. And thanks 
for the link. The Clover homepage has some 
interesting reading, including the pricelist;-) 
showing that systems start at around $3,000.
