Still doesn't run any of the software I need, though. And I have zero interest in growing a scraggly goatee.

Maybe you can ping Logitech and tell them to update their mouse and keyboard drivers that they bailed on supporting in OSX 10.3.3.

Bastards.

Yeah? I evaluated over a dozen restaurant-operations packages with POS. Most were adequate. A couple were outstanding. I bought one of those.

None, absolutely none, ran on Macs. I don't think I've ever seen a restaurant POS and backoffice running on Macs.

That's a current argument. When it comes to specialized apps, Macs aren't even on the menu.

Scraggly goatees are babe magnets... unless you are a babe, then it IS kind of a turn-off...

Nah! Just donate that old PC to some deserving masochist and sit back and enjoy computing that just works...

I had no problem finding Mac point-of-sale software for restaurants.

I didn't say I went out to find restaurant systems for Macs. I said I evaluated software packages out there - the leading, most-recommended restaurant systems extant. None of these good systems run on Macs.

There are restaurant systems designed for Macs. And they are utter crap from what I've seen. And I have never seen a real restaurant running one.

It's pretty obvious, once you need to make a living with computers, why Macs have less than 5% share.

I'll have to take your word for it. I know nothing about the restaurant industry. But there are no technical issues that would prevent the ultimate restaurant point-of-sale software from being developed for the Mac.

The "leading" and "most-recommended" would HAVE to be PC applications. Ergo, you did NOT evaluate any Mac POS packages.

You probably did not have a Macintosh to load demo software so you only evaluated demos of PC software.

It's pretty obvious, once you need to make a living with computers, why Macs have less than 5% share.

Yes, it is because of ignorant and biased opinions like yours, Hank. I work with many professional people... some use Macs, some use PCs, in their businesses... those who have the LEAST problems are those running the Macs. I make a LOT of money off of the PC users.
