If you have a chip card, the strip way won't work, seen merchants try that before unless maybe if you type in the numbers like an internet purchase perhaps . . . . I read on the news that the old eftpos system has been pulled leaving some few hundreds of retailers out of action as they have chosen not to upgrade . I know from people that they upgraded like 2yrs ago :groan:	Nomad (952)

The machine ALSO verifies that it is connecting to a valid EPTPOS server (bit like an SSL certificate) I think thats the long part, confirming that the details were rihgt	The Error Guy (14052)
