They use a "BICwriter" because it's faster. I hate waiting for the 8 1/2" by
11" receipt produced by  computer/cash registers. Also, you can save alot of

Mr. Walston spent the last TV season ( as in deer season?) on "Fast Times at
Ridgemont High". Of course, this doesn't contradict the above statement. 8-}
