Maddog's presentation last month and his mention of SoftPro removed some
cobwebs in my head.

When I was last at the SoftPro in Waltham (last fall maybe?) I was talking
to the manager and saw they're still using a DOS-based POS and inventory
system.  He said he'd love to get off it, but there aren't any FOSS apps
out there to manage everything for them.

If some enterprising individual knows of an app to help them out and can
do it, I'm sure they'll want to talk to you.
