POS systems?

Have any of you seen/worked with POS systems that you felt were easy to use
and well-designed? I'm also interested in any comments you have with regards
to customization, and integration into other systems. Any platform ok. I'm
especially interested in systems for hotel and/or restaurant verticals.

Thanks,
Tori

How do you define a prototype [was:What tools do you use for prototyping?]

Okay, so how do you define a prototype?

Here's my definition:

Regardless of its fidelity, functionality, or how it's made, a
prototype is a conceptual model that captures and communicates the
vision, intent, or idea of a design.

So, yes, in my opinion paper counts.

Cheers!

[QUAR] What tools do you use for prototyping?

How about a working definition of 'prototype'?

Prototype -- 'A visual approximation of the form and/or function of an
intended finished product with a level of fidelity appropriate to the
project lifecycle and intended audience.'

Such a definition acknowledges that there is no single method of prototyping
that fits every situation. The definition also suggests that the prototype
serves the project but it is not the final deliverable.

So, a design mockup would function as a prototype with a certain degree of
suggested function.

prototyping -- fidelity in more than just pixels?

It isn't better *when* (not *if*) it introduces noise, which is anything
other than signal.
