Hi Poindexter,

hahah! I had a now xclient get quoted I7 dell pc's for a POS (Point Of
Sale) system... I just walked away laughing! They are now paying them on a
lease at twice the cost for what I could have done the job for...

You *dont* need I7 based machines to do POS work, a entry I5 (Gen 9 or 10),
would have done the job.



Btw: This was after the owner passed away, and the simple (His not all
there) son took over the buisness... They are also now on a $1500 per month
service agreement..... The mind boggles.
