    This POS is still a computer so what is the big deal about this? The CueCat that is attached to it is a more impressive hack.

  2. Cuecat actually put to a good use by Cornelius+the+Great · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    And I don't have the barcode scanner. So I hooked up my Cue:Cat instead.

    It's good to see that someone has actually found a practical use for that damned thing.
