Thank you very much man, we're setting up a co-op around here and are
working on a good inventory system for all our parts and frames and
such, thanks for your input in all this!! It helps us all! Keep in
touch.

Hi, Yes, Jim Bledsoe is from the Los Angeles' "Bicycle Kitchen". Here in LA we have three individual community bike shops: the Bicycle Kitchen near Hollywood, the Bike Oven in Highland Park,
and I'm with the BikeRoWave in Santa Monica. The BikeRoWave choose to get a POS software called Retail ICE that
is going to be installed this week. We pieced together the rest
from ebay, and some donations. We bought a touch screen and a bar
code scanner, to make things easy for the staff. We looked at
Intuits 'QuickBook POS' that retails for over $1500, but the
Inventory Committee decided to go with the Retail ICE system that
comes with tutorials and learning dvd's which was $75. It is
cheaper if you don't buy the added dvd's. Total for the whole
package was under $700. That includes: The POS software(looks very powerful, with
bookkeeping and tax functions), a touch screen moniter, a hand wand
scanner, a full sized Scanner/printer. We had a cash drawer and a
receipt printer donated to use. We are not accepting credit card
payments so no need for the card scanner. I'm really excited for
the system to get going, as I envision it helping in soo many ways.
Sales, inventory, taxes, contacts, all will be streamlined. As the
Inventory Manager/C.F.O. I am looking forward to getting my work
load down. I'll provide a more detailed description of Items in the system and
a report on its operation soon. I am extreamly busy but will try to
answer any questions as soon as I can. I can be reached at
