If you set up a domain with romaing profiles, the clients become throw away's. so having a local disk really does not matter. It will help the systesm performance, if you have the OS locally. If you ahve a failure, just clone a PC and replace it. If the net connection is fast, you can load all...

Our clients migrated from CAM to RMS 1.2 spk2. My advice is what every you choose make sure it has a good datbase (like ms sql server), and you have full access (read and write) to the data. As for the CAM stuff -- run don't walk. We just finished a conversion -- it was a nightmare. The CAM...

Our client RMS environments are always on a switch 100 net, with all switches and infrastructure are on battery backup. the main server runs sql server, usually dells Our clients are gatways profiles (1.3 - 700mhz PIII, and some touch screens) all in ones for the POS (everything runs on APCC...

Hi bbrendan It comes down to want you want to spend. For samll biz,the best thing to do is buy SBS2003 premimum edition (street price around 1100). this comes with sql server, ISA, windows 2003 advance server. Buy a dual proc machine (or a used dell quad 6450 from ebay), and you will pretty...

Hi ehonauer.. With RMS you can use off the shelf crystal reports againts sql server (or msde). And if you want to write your own app, just use MS visual studio .net or delphia (or VB/excel etc. -- with a sql data connector). The main difference with RMS is the database is open and it is a...

cool!! I love this wifi stuff... Do you have any screen shots you want to share? Do you know what you will sell it for?(just email me a link..) matt k mkatzer@kamind.com

Cool.. we are developing a wireless iventory add on for .net pda's using scokets scanners. Requries a sql db. Looking for beta sites. Sort of a real time db update, price change inventory adjustment from a pda. We have been doing time studies on how inventory is completed in retail shops...

Give you some heads up on CAM retail star and their products in general. If you want to do any database work, the software is really crap. the CAM UI is good, but the database is a single thread piece of software from Gupta, that crashes under load, and does not understadn multiple processors...

You are prob going to speen $$ on the environment that you are looking for. The biggest issue to decide: are you going to be a Microsoft house or not. By the time you are done, you will have spent a lot of $$ either way, but it is simpler (if you are going to do it your self) to pick one...

Use the MS, you will be happier with the upgrade path, and the ability to interface ms office products into the software. If you are puttign in a new systems, 1) use sbs 2000 server, 2) by a dell server (even a used ebay will work) with fault tolerent drives, hardware dsik controller) 3) put a...

We use mintronix, PIII 800 with resitive screens. We are running win xp on them and they run like a champ matt k.

Check out rms and you prob want to use sbs 2000. It is the cheapest way to get sql server in your shop, along with mail and everythign else. That way you can get a decent db to run the pos osftware on it. Most of the POS guys will charge you 2 - 3k for the database license, then charge you...

We are in the process of converting over to rms. We currently use CAM commerce retail star. CAM's products is like using software that was built in the 80's. It is pretty out of date. Our main driving factor was the sql server database support. You can get thrid party apps pretty cheaply...

be careful.. micros lock down the database (no write access), and forces you to have a mandatory service contract. it also set you up to upgrade your hardware every couple years to get support. so know what you are getting into... If you buy a used systems, the re license fee is $2500 + the...

well... here is a quick test... You should be able to grab a copy of visual studio and use the odbc data connection to access the db tables. if it crashes, or doesn’t work, then it will be a nightmare on doing any development. The other things to ask,.. does the DB work on multiple...

hi mark.. I was trying to be polite:-) which is really hard to do. It is really funny when you try to talk to people, that if the db engine is crap, then it really does not matter what you do on the UI, the whole app will still be crap. I suspect Microsoft RMS (old qs2000) will eat CAM's...

We are in the same boat. Most of the POS vendors are in the workgroup model. I am lookign for an AD solution for our client. We have two other apps that we need to integrate into a sql 2000 solution to reduce cost in this site. What we do is drop sbs 2000 (or the new .net version) and look...

We are looking at it as a canidate for conversion from CAM Commerence Retail Star 6.5. Our biggest problems is that we need a database that can handle remote queries for our web sites,a dn doe snto crash under load. We manage the remote locations through a dedicated vpn link and term server...

We use Retail Star. POS UI is gfood, but the database is a vintage 1990 technology that crashes under load. This is the case with 5.x and 6.5 product. It does not scale across multiple processors. Is is a single transaction DB design. With that said, it really depends on what you want to do...
