Nearly every desktop or laptop made anymore has Bluetooth so they could easily connect with that.   I don't know if they think every business that uses their software only makes sales from the front seat of their car or out on the go somewhere?  

What I don't understand is why you lost the ability to swipe cards last Fall and I continued to be able to do it until this week?    If it was something they just weren't offering why didn't it go away all at the same time?
