Linux on a Used Cash Register: Reloaded
plimsoll writes "Hot on the heels of the original cash register running Linux, dumpster-diver Aaron Benoy has implemented his own GNU/Linux POS project with a twist: Ruins in ASCII, a late IBM 4694 removed from its case and reloaded with Linux to become a self-described 'video sculpture' showcasing 'an infinite loop of 180 distinct 7-second long video clips of various abandoned, ruined or otherwise vacant buildings and infrastructure' on its 9-inch paper white phosphor terminal display. Southern geeks can see it unveiled tonight at the Atlanta Underground Film Festival."
Article says "so simple even a frog could do it." Why must article discriminate against french ? We are leads in computer industry and helped to beat Germans in WW II.
They're supposed to run Windows, but it must have got hit by that Red Hat virus. I hear there's a lot of that going around.
If you have to hire an admin for a simple Windows based POS system, then you have more serious problems to address than the software itself.
I don't respond to AC's.
