Main MTI Office out with a chill

The main MTI office is out with a chill today, a bad weather chill that knocked out its power. Thankfully most of the systems that run the office are off-site, including our main web site and our Live Help support.

Unfortunately, our email isn't - so if you're trying to send us email, you'll likely get a nasty "undeliverable" message. You can get a hold of me directly at my mtihorizon.com email (which rarely goes down).

You can also get support directly by searching our main site. There are lots of training videos there.

Socket Communications : Wearable Bar Code Scanning Products

Hmmm - now this looks interesting (linked by Gizmodo) - so now your bar code scanner becomes a part of your attire.

This could be huge for warehouse tools - after all, who wants to carry around a bulky scanner when you can simply wear it.

Check it out.
