Sure, but the company isn't forced to do business with you either. You
both have a choice.

Yes they both have a choice but a customer does not have to give ANY
information if the transaction is a cash transaction.

You don't have to give any information for any type of transaction, cash
or not.

If you choose to not provide any information, the store can refuse to
sell you their product. Cash or not, you can't force them to sell you
their product.

The cash element is completely irrelevant.

Radio Shack started going down hill back in the early 70's when they
finally dumped all of the Archer line(British) of electronic

Used to be able to get just about any Cap/Transistor/SCR or any other
electronic component there.
Hasen't been that way for nearly 3 decades.

Seems strange that they should have depended on a UK sourced range, but we do
still have that kind of product range over here at other retailers (Maplins for
example) and the amateur constructor still lives here too.

There was absolutely no correlation between Archer components and any
particular country of origin, including the UK. "Archer" was just one
of countless RS store brands, like Micronta, Realistic, Optimus, etc.

Maybe because they were giving them incorrect numbers. I might do that
if the merchant insisted a phone number was required.

Most times, though, when asked for my phone number, I ask why it's
needed. The merchant usually drops the request at that point.

Recollection of Motorola's "CFBU" (catch fire and burn up :)
opcode. That was that in the first 6502's, wasn't it?

Motorola didn't make the 6502, I think you mean the 6800.

Right, the 6502 was made by Rockwell. They didn't put that feature in
their CPU. Just the space shuttle.
Click to expand...
I played with some 6502s once. I remember I really liked them.
I just went and looked up the instruction set, and now I
remember - page zero. Essentially, a set of 256 registers. :)
And two, count'em, two, index registers.

The 256-byte (IIRC) stack never seemed to be a limit. I remember
thinking, "This is very orthogonal."

And I remember the 6800 opcode as HCF (halt & catch fire) - but
I remember it as just turning all the address and data lines
into a big free-running binary counter.

Yes, it certainly could. On nearly any device today, any and all unused
inputs must be tied to a terminal through a pullup or pulldown resistors.
This even applies to pins that are bidirectional in most cases, because on
reset (or execution of certain instructions) those pins can become inputs
and if not tied somewhere, they float.

Cheers!

Rockwell only second-sourced the 6502.

The 6502 originated with MOS Technology (later bought and merged into
Commodore).
The MOS guys were mostly from Motorola, and went out to do their own thing.

Do the names KIM, AIM-65, SYM-1, PET, Apple II, VIC-20, C-64, Atari &
Nintendo remind you of anything?
I believe the 6502 was the most-sold microprocessor ever.

Depending on how/what you count, surely x86 (8088?) or perhaps 8051 and

their derivatives have to be most sold microprocessors. There are
something like 2E9 (~100M/year over 20 years) x86 processors sold so
far. Embedded '51s? Who knows!

You may want to do some more homework, just a couple days ago or so, I seen
a series of posts of the "Cuecat" being used as "spyware". Not sure if it
would do the same on your set up since it's not a "PC" as such as the rest
who are affected by the crap Macs aren't. I have a Cuecat on my desk top,
but the DT hasn't been on in months, so not much spying going on there.
Besides, when I DID try it, it didn't seem to work as it was cut out to, so
OUT IT GOES!

You can use a CueCat on a Mac with a PS2 to USB adapter, according to this
site: <http://www.geocities.com/macbarcat/>

But why bother? You can get a USB CueCat that'll connect directly to your
Mac. Do a search on eBay.

You'll want to either get a modified CueCat, or modify it yourself. A
modded CueCat will output the barcode as typed text, so you can use it to
"type" UPC and ISBN numbers directly into any program that allows keyboard
input -- TextEdit, web forms, databases, etc. Here are a few web sites
with CueCat info and modification instructions:

<http://www.beau.lib.la.us/~jmorris/linux/cuecat/>
<http://members.aol.com/cuecatguy/>
<http://oilcan.org/cuecat/decrypt.html>
<http://www.flyingbuttmonkeys.com/cuecat/>

You can also find modification instructions in the book "Hardware Hacking",
by Joe Grand, Ryan Russell and Kevin Mitnick.
