Thanks validatorman! Besides more transactions and more items purchased with each transaction, there are two other reasons why I like the feature. One being remote monitoring: I would like to know what I need to stock in each machine before going out (I believe it will work that way from what I've read) saving time and money. And two, being a competitive edge. Most (all that I've seen)of the machines out in the field with other vendors don't have that capability. They probably have good reasons like what you mentioned. I just thought that it may be a differentiating edge possibly. What is your opinion/knowledge on these two things please? Thanks again for the help!
