RE: inventory scanners

[dvanarsd@xxxxxxxxxx]

You might want to look at my manual for PDA inventory at 

http://libcat.uafortsmith.edu/screens/manbarc.html

We are using a Handspring Visor (the combination with a Symbol 
barcode reader module seemed cheaper than a Palm) in addition to 
our PT2000 (and is much cheaper than the Percon, as well as 
lighter, no wand/pistol reader required).

Let me know if you have any questions.

to this.
What we need is something that interfaces easily with a PC and is 
also a

barcode scanner.  Does anyone have any advice?
