creditcard / debitcard reader by any?

By member: michiel Placed on: 2008-05-07 10:22:14 "Ofcourse I myself know which way to put the magnetic stripe, but it is always the slooow customers in the queue before you who are messing around with their card and the correct way to swipe it through the reader. Suggested solution: make it work with the only requirement that the magnetic strip is on the bottom. Then the awkward instructions on how to put the card through can disappear. "

I'm sure this idea adds some cost to the device, but it would make lines go quicker if everyone had one" reply
