Christopher, Does this mean that the 386 is more combat ready than the pII or that the US military is preparing to fight tomorrow's war with last week's technology? Know the story on the M-16? Great gun, only someone in the brass decided to save a bunch of money by using out dated gunpower, which Olin had in great supply. It only lowered the muzzle velocity by a couple of hundred feet per second. Nobody bothered to check and see if it would cause the gun to jam due to insufficient 'blow-back' on the bolt. The result is a bunch of dead GIs. Sorry for blowing off, but I don't always trust my gov't. Regards, Rich

chris, so true, I implemented my first rf data collection inventory system in 1987 at cpq... And, done 3 more since then I'll never use anything else for that type of process. It allows for your ERP to send info to the reader and direct a person through the task and does instant entry w/o the person having to do the task and then sit down and tell the ERP what he just did. It also, improves accuracy to 100% since it allows for error checking of that process while the person is pulling or shipping parts.
