Your cash register program.

[Kelly]

Hi Dale: I downloaded and am using (currently playing with) your Cash Register program, and MAN oh man is it swell! Thank you so much!

I have my own [very] small business, growing and selling produce. I don't have a venue per se, I sell from my shed in my garden. I got a laptop this year for my anniversary, and keep all my records and info on that. I didn't want to spend the money on an actual cash register, nor did I have the need for an adding machine (although my customers might argue that I do have the need sometimes). I don't print out receipts, but I do try to keep track of quantities of produce picked and sold, and every day I was open this year, my [handwritten] daily count came up different than the actual cash in hand.

Enter Cash Register, almost irresistable because of the price (stingy small business owner am I). I wasn't that wild about a DOS based program, but finally decided to give it a shot.

Geez, louise, it is so great! I've been playing with it all evening, having pretend conversations and sales in my head, and it is awesome! Thank you very much for being a person who creates elaborate, helpful things and shares them for free! I truly appreciate it.

I hope that the program will suit my actual customer transactions, once I open again in the spring. I suspect it will, once I learn it better.

Again, many thanks!

Well, never under-estimate the power of DOS, after all - many Windows versions still relied/rely upon a DOS framework underneath.
