So I told you guys a couple weeks ago about the Ice Cream Truck episode of Pimp My Ride. It went over pretty good. All the touch screen software solutions, including the POS, and the cash drawer was all me. It came out nice. It was written in C# using Direct X for graphics and video stuff. It is all...

The team and company I work for is selling a kit for 45.00 for home users and car users that use computers in there car. It basically helps...
