      @jaredbusch would you have like to have been selected?

      I was requested to attend for jury service once when younger. Turned up with long hair and a Jimmi Hendrix shoulder bag. Didn't get selected, wonder why?

      About 4 years ago I was called to jury duty, complete with long hair and a very long goatee. I got picked because the case involved theft by computer. When they asked what I did for work I saw both attorneys making check marks. I was chosen, so was another guy who was a developer.

        Finished upgrading one of my home computers to Windows 11.

        How is it? Windows has started prompting me on my home computer to turn on TPM 2.0 or upgrade my mobo. I saw a few videos on it months ago, wondering if it's a "I'll wait until they get the bugs out" or a "oh I need this now" kinda situation.

          I would definitely wait.

          There's not enough new there to warrant moving today, plus it's still very much a work in progress from what they claimed it would include.

              is it open source?
              is that what OS stands for?

                    Anyone used AmBit POS? It looks awful, but someone is recommending it.

                            Horrible interface for one. And seemingly no waiter interface to input orders.

                                Yeah I agree, thats crap.

                                  I didn't look on the website, but does it say you can request a demo?

                                  also - a lot of POS vendors dont put there price in a public setting because then their competitors will be able to potentially steal their business by saying "their systems are X amount and can do x,y,andz . we can do ours for Y amount. and ours do A,B,C as well as X,Y,Z" so not actually unheard of.

                                      This is actually a BS reason to not list pricing publically - they don't list because it allows them to charge whatever they want to an individual customer.

                                          Anyone used AmBit POS? It looks awful, but someone is recommending it.

                                          Could be ran on IPads, Other than that I haven't heard much - It's not very popular in the Midwest that I can tell.

                                          No public pricing or info. VERY clear that the vendor doesn't think much of the product.

                                          I didn't look on the website, but does it say you can request a demo?

                                          also - a lot of POS vendors dont put there price in a public setting because then their competitors will be able to potentially steal their business by saying "their systems are X amount and can do x,y,andz . we can do ours for Y amount. and ours do A,B,C as well as X,Y,Z" so not actually unheard of.

                                          This is actually a BS reason to not list pricing publically - they don't list because it allows them to charge whatever they want to an individual customer.

                                          It's completely possible... - however as I've seen it in the past 3.5 or so years, every customer is different based on their needs - which affects the price- POS systems are not Cookie Cutter - unless you're adding to a current chain, then it's pretty easy, but that's under the same customer. Not to mention the hardware you use, (based on what's offered) the size of the site , licensing, peripherals, subscriptions, Credit Card processing, menu changes, all differ from customer to customer.
                                          I have no 2 customers exactly a like. So there is no "One size fits" all pricing in this industry.

                                            That's why you demo both.... and once you get prices from Company A and Company B, you start the haggling process yourself.

                                            which is what a lot of people do .

                                            It is what a lot of people do, and as we've discussed so many times in the past, people do all sorts of crazy things. Just for starters, not having publicly available pricing tells me that person/company does not value my time, and it will cost me extra time to negotiate with them.
