Hey guys!

just an update:

I finally got everything up and running on Parallels.
The reciept printer, however, was so very inconsistent!
It would only print a test page when I manually selected "open as admin" I had to do this each and everytime I wanted a test page.

It never communicated properly with TT though.
The cash drawer was completely dead!

The drivers were unistalled and reinstalled probably 175 times over the course of 5 days! I would get something to respond and then something else would not be able to be recognized,
(such as my t-max)

I was so deep into the depths of my psuedo PC that I was basically useless... I was lost and making changes that I knew nothing about their purpose!

Needless to say, I sacraficed 5 sweet, sweet days (of being officially OPEN) in order to play on an iMac. But at the end of a "practical" day, I made an emergency run to Best Buy for the most attractive HP I could find. I know nothing of PC's so my goal was .... large screen, tons of USB ports, desireable specs and a decent appearance.

Long story short...

I have been VICTORIOUS!
TT works great.
Tmax works great.
we've got printing going on
and the cash drawer is opening left and right...

I am ready to announce my GRAND OPENING as THIS FRIDAY!

SPECTACULAR!

For those of you who love the iMac idea, .... it is not dead.
Ill still be toying with that behind the scenes.
Any juicy details and I will certainly share.

Until then, I hope youre all rollin in the dough this season!

Ciao.
