Re: mobile POS system

Wireless and PCI together are messy and best avoided if possible - I know
there are some point of sale systems that are mobile but actually process
via cellphone technology instead of wireless internet.  That might simplify
things.

"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this
country the notion that because a man or corporation has made
 a profit out of the public for a number of years, the
government and the courts are charged with the duty of
guarunteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of
changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This
strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law.
 Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come
 into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or
 turned back, for their private benefit. That is all."
