Cool! There seem to be a lot of those nice old registers around, too... Or
maybe they just end up in use more than other old objects(or at least used
in the open... Or whatever.).

ROTFLOL! You never know... Stupider(??? Doesn't look right, but I can't
think of anything else) things have happened... i remember seeing a video
on TV of some guys trying to take out a large safe by dragging it out with
a car... Or maybe it was an ATM. Or maybe it happens a lot and was both...
Speaking of cash registers, I see some that I would love to get my hands
on... And the scary part is that I just want the case! OK, I'll probably
use the display, too.. But those keyboards would probably go. What I want
to do is either put a laptop into one, put a packet terminal into it, or
maybe both(easy enough... with the laptop you can do packet and use the
computer!). Oh yeah, don't forget to put a radio in there! Or at least
connections for an external radio...
