I am interested in getting a barcode reader for my PC. Idealy, it should
be a portable unit. I know nothing about barcode readers and am looking
for suggestions about brands, or types of scanners to look for or avoid.
Thanks

Anyway, I got 6 of these monsters for a client of mine and they have been nothing short of a nightmare. I have a long list of complaints and I'm not going to waste bandwidth, but as of now I'm having to BUY THEM BACK from my customer as they fail (which is pretty often) just to save my consulting business' reputation. -- Barton A.
