[OFBiz] Users - (newbie) OFBIZ 3.0 POS

[David E. Jones]

BJ: what Ray means, and he is correct, is that the primary  
requirement for data entry in the POS was through touch screen  
touches which simulate mouse clicks, ie down and up at a certain  
coordinate, not the pressing and releasing of a key on the keyboard.

Ray is also correct that in theory this should be doable and should  
work just fine, there are probably just some bugs in it. Of course,  
my knowledge of the POS stuff comes only through reviewing it a bit  
and talking with Andy about it, he is the one wrote it all and who  
deserves the appreciation for it (and I don't mean "critical"  
appreciation or implications of some obligation to make it meet one's  
specific needs).
