We installed the RST iTouch system in our restaurant, The Unicorn, some years ago. From the moment we started to use it, we had nothing but problems, with the system constantly crashing, leaving us in a situation whereby we had to manually write the bills. The support we were promised was non-existent, and when we eventually did get any support, we were told the problems were to do with our power supply, and that we would need to invest over €1,100 in installing power supply levellers.

We independently got our power supply tested by an electrician, who informed us there were no issues with the power. We subsequently got an IT consultant to examine the iTouch system. The RST iTouch EPOS system is developed in Foxpro, which is an archaic and redundant software development tool, that was never designed for network reliability. The system continued to crash, ALWAYS at busy times.

We got rid of the system after 3 weeks of a nightmare. We subsequently spoke to numerous other restaurateurs in Dublin that had the exact same problems with RST iTouch. My advice is to stay well clear of RST and iTouch. They don't have a reliable epos system, nor do they have any local support in Republic of Ireland.

Avoid, at all costs. More

This was a very good alternative in the early days, when there is only IE. This gives an greater look and feel browser. The sad thing is "Official support ended on March 1st, 2008".

The new Netscape Navigator takes a Firefox foundation, some neat Sidebar innovations, and an inside track to the Netscape.com social-networking and news site to create a browser that has some great features with minimal wonkiness.

Netscape.com is a huge part of the new Navigator: some new features might not be of interest if you don't hang out there. The Share button inside the address bar connects you directly to Netscape.com. Highlight content from the page and hit Share. The content becomes a summary, in a box that just needs a few tags to be submitted to the collective. Already-posted articles show Vote and Discuss icons instead of Share.

Bookmarks and History are self-explanatory sidebars, but a series of Netscape.com-related ones work well, too. Netscape Friends' Activity shows you what your friends have been doing, Netscape Tracker tracks the latest site updates, and Netscape News tracks only news posts. Non-Netscape.com users--a small, rebellious group, no doubt--will appreciate the Mini-Browser sidebar, which is essentially two tabs opened simultaneously, and the Link Pad, a savable URL notepad. Drag-and-drop adds a URL, clicking on the saved link opens it in a new tab. This is one of Navigator's new tricks that I love, but wish had more traditional notepad functionality. All Sidebar features have toolbar icons that you can add at will.

Most of the bundled features from version 8 have been removed. IE mode, integrated AOL IM, RSS reader, form filler, and security suite are gone, but the compatibility with Firefox 2 extensions and LinkPad more than make up for the loss. The innovations here might make this more than a backup browser... Yahoo
