Barcode scanner coolness

posted in Misc. News by swampgas on Jul 31st, 2001

First, a HUGE thanks to all the people who emailed me about my barcode scanning problem (posted below). Most of the emails were telling me to just get a CueCat and toy with it...so, I went out to Radio Shack and got one. Of course the kid working behind the counter had to tease me and say "That'll be $ 59.42". Gee. Thanks. Found some software for Windows called CatNip (goldsteinsoftware.com/catnip.htm) which decodes the data and spits it out as if you typed it. So it's all good now. Again, thankyouthankyouthankyou to all you guys (and gals) who gave me advice.
