RE: Barcode Scanner Purchase

Have you looked at the keyboard interface barcode scanners? They are much eaier to interface....just plug them in and scan and it pops up in your application. A lot less hassle.

 

just my thoughts ;)

Software I can do, it's the bit about differing voltages, TLT's or
whatever the TLA was, and so on that I don't yet have a clue about.

Recent discussions have suggested:

- Scanning book bar codes to update databases
- Also apply to CDs, DVDs, etc
- Food logging
- Insurance databases.

Frankly, for the sake of £13 or so, when applied to book databases
for instance, I think it's a great plan/toy, and I'm up for one if we
can amass the numbers.

I'm sure other uses will come to mind later on.
