Once upon a time the world was
occupied by large beasts called main frame computers. Many other
creatures also roamed the lands and the struggle for survival of the
fittest was well underway. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
The cash register evolved from
primitive mechanical forms and grew to dominate the land, developing
first electronics and even some primitive networking abilities. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
But then arriving on an asteroid
from the planet IBM came the PC which began to thrive in the lush
Microsoft grass lands. Many believed that these PCs would take over
the land, dominating all before them, and indeed they did for many
years. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
But as Darwin had informed us the
race for the survival of the fittest accelerates development.
Small pockets of cash registers did survive, and under the threat of
the PC they evolved and leapt forward. Over time these devices
morphed in to solid state Tills with touch screens, benefiting from
their focus on specific EPOS environments, dedicated to purpose,
relentless in pursuit they could dominate the harsh, boggy and high
lands of the world. |

|
|
|
As the carcases of PCs mountained
up, clogging up the basements of harsh hospitality environments,
buried under mounds of old napkins and soiled cups; their hard
drives having spun their last revolution only a few years after
spluttering in to life, their operating system redundant and
incapable of an upgrade, plagued by viruses and bugs, their fans
sucking in all the wet and corrosive gunk would aid in spreading the
cancer of coke syrup. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
It was now that the tide of
development began to turn. While the PC struggled to renew itself
every few years the solid state till would emerge as the fittest
survivor capable of thriving in harsh environments and adapting and
learning the language of communication. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Capable of surviving a long life,
with simple dietary requirements, short gestation and focused
robustness the solid state till once more emerged and the king of
the jungle. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Capable to existing in large
colonies with minimal government, the solid state till could build
huge communities, communicating with each other over vast distances
they had but on weakness... |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
They could be controlled and
manipulated easily by humans. Soon there emerged one group of
humans, who had lived with them for many years. They took
over the colonies and cities and exploited them for the benefit of
forward thinking hospitality companies..... |

Well I think
we have taken that as far as it will go, fun but there is a
point, Centegra deploys solid state tills in to hospitality
environment, and with good reason.. contact us to find out more. |
