    Stay away from Point of Sales. People who install and sell POS tools are idiots.. the people who use them.. are even bigger idiots, and the folks who do the auditing are Brain Damaged Retards with no hope of ever evolving up into idiots or morons. Take the 35 year old retard at Wendys and subtract about 40iq points and you have yourself a night auditor. But if you seriously want to do POS lemme know ... I do alot of work with POS stuff being that my company processes Credit Cards.

    You can't make money working for someone else.
    I'll have to disagree with that one :) But then again I sorta did work for myself in a weird convoluted way being a stockholder.

    Does your freind get these 2000 dollar jobs on a weekly basis? Remember there is a huge difference between making some spare cash and being able to pay the bills on a month to month basis.

    Personaly... way back when I worked for Liveworld, they charged between $250 and $400 an hour for my time. I think the smallest project I worked on there was for around $10,000 and the biggest worth well... alot.(I worked on sites like sho.com, hbo.com and alot of other MAJOR entertainment stuff.) Now the big money jobs like that have mostly gone away, folks are afraid to spend their budgets on this sort of stuff since the dot com crash. I think some of it will come back... but it will take some time.

      I know what you're talking about. I was in a hospital bed just hours after surgery when I get a phone call at the hospital asking about a POS system I put in over a year ago. I was dumb enough to give them my home phone, and somebody at home was dumb enough to give them my number at the hospital. I was too incoherent in my anesthetic drunkenness to be pissed at the audacity they had to badger me over the phone in my condition. That whole ordeal was a cluster-doodoo with a long story... which even involved the threatening of bodily harm upon me... it's just... a long story. People ripping each other off, nobody speaks English, I end up writing bar code printer drivers for free, I end up losing money in the end... Oh my God. You know, some people get scholarships for school... I deal with the freakin Chinese mafia instead... WTF was I thinking.

      Now, with this in mind... I do not EVER want to deal with POS systems on a personal level again. EVER. What I have in mind does not involve dealing with it at that level.

        Aishwarya Rai, yup. Now how'd you know?! Actually all of them except Kajol (2nd pic) are her, but they look different enough that I didn't think anyone would realize it was the same person.

            I'm not sure, I've only seen her in movies and haven't watched Indian TV programs.
