Subject: RE: Who is telling stories out of turn?

No flame, but two days ago I went into an auto parts store. When the
clerk logged into his dumb (!) monitor, the log in reminded me of a DEC
PDP-11; most definitely not graphical. The system painted (literally;
probably running a 9600 baud modem back to some office) the screen.
Didn't even have a scanner; he had to key in the number. This store was
built within the last year by a national chain.

But it got the price right, and I was on my way in < 1 minute.
