Need your consulting expertise... I HAVE A MUSIC STORE. I AM CURRENTLY NOT USING COMPUTERS. I DO NOT WANT TO BUY A TURN-KEY SYSTEM BECUASE I WILL WANT TO CUSTOMIZE THINGS. I DO NOT WANT TO DEPEND ON A SMALL COMPANY THAT IS LOCATED 2 TIME ZONES AWAY FOR SUPPORT. I DO NOT WANT TO BUILD MY SYSTEM FROM THE GROUND UP. Ideally, an IBM based system using packages such as Lotus, Dbase IV, etc. would be ideal. These are defacto standards that seem to be malleable and very well supported. How can I tie this to a point of sale system? Assume all the small business needs: inventory control, accounting, etc., etc. Budget: 2k - 10K Do you think Lotus and Dbase are appropriate for this environment? What others packages are applicable? What can you reccommend? Chris Wood Chris Wood
