Re: [nlug] OT: Inventory Management

I bought a new USB barcode reader years ago. The computer just thinks it's a keyboard, so there's little effort to using it. The funnest part was on a Mac where it insisted that I type a "k" on my new keyboard so it could figure something out about it, and I had to print a single "k" in a barcode

Re: [nlug] OT: Inventory Management

It finally occurs to me that I don't need the ability to print barcodes. There are places where I can get a spool of them pre-printed sequentially like raffle tickets. :) GLPI looks pretty well developed, Sabuj. Thanks for suggesting it. -- Don Delp 618.616.2993 http://nesman.net/ -- You re
