Re: [AGA-mcm] Re: T-shirts and other things with drawers

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

What I had in mind, and I hadn't thought it through very
far, would mean having a pc or laptop set up  that folks
coul use to make a purchase -- assume there is wireless
interenet in the hotel. Then they would just be buying like
any other time at any other place. 

I don't know the transaction turnaround time on Paypal.
Unless they are batch processing or batch posting to the
databases, I would expect the lag to be no more than a few
seconds, less than a minute anyway. But this is getting
deeply into my areas of ignorance.

But if it can work, it could work or any of the items, FTs,
etc.
