And? Any desktop has the same types of CPUs being used on contemporary POS

Can you give an example? Some shops may have something like an AS/400 behind

My games PC has an x86 processor, but I reckon it has an order of magnitude
more processing power than than the average POS terminal. "Same types of

Why do I always attract trolls and goons who do not know what they are

I am very interested what Billy will find out because I ask the same
question. I am software developer for a Hospitality Systems company that
doesn't use C# or any Microsoft product. As a way to keep up with
Microsoft technologies and sharpen my c# skills, I decided to build my
own POS for restaurants mainly relying on internet materials.
