I would bet that this subject has been discussed before, bet since I am new to
the net, I'll bring it up again.  I have a friend who owns a small retail  
store.  He is interested in computerizing and he is really insistent on
using barcoding.  I have read in some of the magazines about bar code readers
for around $500, and I was wondering if these readers will read the UPC code
on a product, or if you have to attach another sticker to each item.  Also,
does the bar code reader input data directly where the keyboard inputs its 
data or if the bar code reader goes through an RS 232 or other port.
