Bulking Up
with Smart Card Equipment
Weren't smart cards supposed to make
everything so easy? They freed you from the need to lug around that
pesky cash and you were liberated from the hassle of a cumbersome
checkbook. Well maybe we just missed all the advantages, including
something akin to training weights.
The folks at Oki Advanced Products have come
up with the "Visa Viewer." The product is a "Value-Checker Personal
Smart Card Reader," which means users can see the cash value and
transaction history on their Visa Cash Cards with this piece of
equipment. According to Oki's Press Release, "Convenient and
Dependable PSCRs [personal smart card readers] are a key
requirement for the success of smart card programs."
Just what we need-something else to carry
around! What about the trusty check register? It never malfunctions,
and it's free!
