This is it, Pat, the big one, the next step for Dell
A huge effort must have gone into the engineering, planning, and procurement of these systems
I counted 31 companies making these items ( and thats only though the P's ! )
They will wake up tomorrow and say "who's Dell" ,and they will soon learn.(the way Gateway did)
A perfect fit for Dells capability , and a market from Sydney to Poughkeepsie where prices are double or triple what a prudent man would pay

<<<<Dell has been testing retail-systems sales for several months, and has even landed
point-of-sale system contracts with two specialty retailers, the Journal said. The two
PC-based systems it is expected to announce Monday are based on existing Dell PCs
with prices starting at $1,700.>>>
I priced some of the items used in the stores
Hand scanner $300
Slot (card) reader $200
Touch screen monitor $1000 and up
Portable data device for use in warehouses $900
Cash drawer $ 400
Reciept printer $700
Keyboard $75 to $300
Barcode printer $400
Software $300 and up
Workstation $2400
Now lets multiply @ 20 lanes per HD and Walmart and etc, times the number of stores
How many lanes at an airport?
It may take a few days or a week for the Street to wake up to the potential here.
Everyone here knows what to do about it
If not, ask Kemble. (g)
