I'd like to suggest starting a Microsoft Point of Sale newsgroup to support
the Microsoft Point of Sale product.

While occassionally MSPOS posts show up in the RMS newsgroup, it's often not
clear if a question is on RMS or on MSPOS. For the new owner of MSPOS, if
they do find this newsgroup, it quickly becomes apparent that this newsgroup
isn't for MSPOS. Also, if a retailer owns MSPOS, they aren't necessarily
aware that RMS is a completely different software title.

If you've ever had trouble sifting through the posts to find information on
MSPOS specifically, please consider voting for this suggestion.

Darril,

I doubt it will happen as this ng is for all 3 point of sales programs,
QuickSell 2000 (the father of both RMS & MSPOS), RMS and now MSPOS.

Just make sure to mention that you are using MSPOS in your posts, maybe as a
tag line or in your signature.

Thanks for the information Jeff. I found that intriquing and went on a hunt
for QuickSell 2000. I get the impression that MSPOS is actually a direct
upgrade from QuickSell 2000 and RMS is an indirect upgrade from QuickSell HQ.

Does this sound accurate?

Actually, I'm pretty sure that RMS is an upgrade to Quicksell Commerce. When
I bought it 5 years ago, I had the choice between QS 2000 and QS Commerce,
because QS Commerce was the upgrade for QS 2000(which was the original)I
decided to buy QS Commerce. MSPOS has a lot of the same features that QS
2000 had, and RMS has all of the same features QS Commerce had. I just
upgraded about 2 months ago from Commerce to RMS, and apart from the CC
masking and a few new features, there's very little changed.

If you are on a maintenance plan there have been over 100 fixes and updates
to Store Operations compared to QuickSell Commerce. The main two features
added include Physical Inventory which has been a huge benefit to our store,
and integrated credit card processing so you don't need extra software like
PC Charge.
The Physical Inventory program allows you to print count worksheets or use a
handheld to take inventory.
The integrated card processing allows you to enter your merchant numbers and
you are set to go.
