I think that they just picked up this relatively clean shell for other purposes entirely. Still waiting for the second shoe to drop.

Remote Control.

A board reader by the name of Tim L. posed a logical response to what FASC could be doing with the Internet:

Slap a web interface on top of whatever software runs their KDS machines enabling remote configuration/troubleshooting via the Web of their production machines around the world.

Now, As I've never seen a KDS up close, I don't know whether the machines are purely mechanical or are software programmable. I sort of always figured they were mechanical, but if they are software-controlled devices, then, like everything else, they can be Web-enabled.

I like this. Can Anyone confirm/deny that KDS is software controlled technology??

cheers,
