Amazing how 18 years ago or so most of us began using a mouse thinking it was the most amazing invention! Who would have thought that only a few years after making our lives so much easier the touch screen would become so common everywhere pushing the mouse aside. Visual Retail Plus was one of the first companies to develop a point of sale touch screen solution allowing sales personnel to simply and quickly conduct the sale by lightly tapping a screen.
