We just installed our company's POS software recently at a large resort. I
posted about this project recently in this list. I was so pleased with some
news that I received today, that I thought it appropriate to share it with
the list.

Right now is a very busy time at this client site because of a yearly event
taking place at this resort which is very popular. This site has:

* FB1.5 On 2Ghz P4, SCSI, 1 Gig RAM running on Win2003.
* 35 POS terminals positioned around the property at various bar, restaurant
and kiosk profit centers.

Networking (believe it not) is 10/100 Cat 5 and some of the runs are pretty
long. Personally, I thought they should have gone with Fiber...

At any rate, today was one of the busiest days of the year. There was a
over 18,000 sales transactions posted today and the system didn't even
blink! To me, that is an incredible amount of data/activity. Just imagine;
each sale involves an average of say, 5 line items for over 90,000
additional inserts. And that is not even counting database activity for
discounts, voids, employee clock ins, back office work and reporting,
payment tenders and all the other peripheral activity including thousands of
selects to present data to the users through touch screen GUI.

I'm smiling like a cheshire cat....

Thanks for a great product.

Warm Regards,

Lee
