This statement got me curious - is this the same thing that I saw at the
last COMMON where everybody had these phones they used to scan in badges?
Pretty cool stuff if that is what it's doing!

I've pretty much stayed out of this conversation, but now Trevor you're
going out of your way to pull me into it.  You're equating PSC/400 with
"moldy", and as usual when you blow smoke like this, you're just way out of
your league.

As it turns out, since PSC/400 works in a browser it happens to work quite
well with non-traditional reader devices such as handheld scanners.  The
reason it works so well is that there are a wide variety of such devices
(scanners, RFID readers, and so on) that communicate via HTTP.

This is not "moldy", it's "correct".  Data is read/scanned/spoken or keyed
and then transmitted via perhaps the most widely used protocol in the
industry.  Simple, efficient, elegant.  That's why so many device vendors
support a browser interface.

Anyway, I don't know why you decided to drag me into this, unless it was
simply to get a rise out of me by making snide remarks about my products.
Please do me a favor and quit referencing me or my products in any of your
comments.  We'll all be the better for it.

Joe
