Title: My new TOY!!
Post by: lagereek on May 17, 2011, 00:38
I have connected to my computer, one of these old-fashioned Cash-registers, you know one of these with a little bell, that goes PLING! every time you use it. For every sale I get in the Micro, up comes the amount and then it goes PLING!
What I didnt think of was this PLING!  noise,  its driving me f-cking mad!  it never stops PLINGING!  I also forgot to calibrate the amounts so instead of say a sale for 1.50 dollars, it shows, 150.00  dollars. Ofcoiurse by the end of the day I was so rich I could go public.

WOW, this is so cool! You should offer those for sale!

If you don't mind me asking, how do you receive notifications of any sale happening anywhere? Which software do you use?

Did you buy it new to use when you first started selling photos?

Yes I did, its a Keller, German made. You must surely remember the launching of the system?  it was around 1922 or something like that.
