I always wondered what that weird looking sig was supposed to mean ;-). | Aye, except that he might want a _working_ scanner.

I've worked with proper scanners, there's a _big_ | difference. Yeah. My part-time job is in the video department of a fairly large grocery store. The scanners aren't CueCat, but they are aging and often don't work quite right. It's really a pain when it gets a bit or two off and give a different number. Or just ignores the first couple of decimal digits in the code. The "real" scanners are on the cash registers at the front end. I haven't worked front-end, but they don't have nearly as much trouble as video has. -D
