I like to have fun with things and it does not stop with the RSPOS Manual. Though it is still in draft mode here is a preview of just a page. RSPOS - A Radio Shack POS inspired inventory program #TBT #ThrowBackThursday #RadioShack #RSPOS

In a weeks time from my last post about RSPOS a lot has changed and been added. In the meantime here are some pic's of the changes and new features. Also BETA testing applicants are welcome @ 8bitboyz.com/rspos-beta-t...

RSPOS is getting closer to limited public BETA! Here are 3 nuggets (pages) from the draft User Manual. (The manual is written as if it was a company manual with a bit of humor peppered through out) Former RS employee's will love the references to RS in this manual! ;) #RSPOS

2 years ago an idea w/MS Access, VB code came to life. In the last month that idea that laid stagnet for 8 month has revived w/a vengance. My retro inventory program based on the Radio Shack POS of the late 80 early 90s is alive & more than well on all OS's! More to come!

If you have a CMD FD-2000 or FD-4000 drive that constantly has data being updated and added to it what do you find is the best and easiest way to back it up on the regular? ZoomFloppy, using U64/C64U VR drives? Would love to hear your input on this! #Commdore

Are you freaking serious? This is way overboard & as Mrs 8-Bit says "you can fix ugly but not stupid!" No way this is worth the asking $$$ & just killing the real value of retro causing the snow ball effect that effects all aspects of retro with listings like this. #TiredOfRetroPoacher #C64
