Technology behind SP-1

It appears that it has become a marketing technique for POS companies to report on how much data they can store and handle.  I guess we have always taken for granted that you "over program" based on customer needs.

Just to satisfy curiosity I thought I'd check our statistics and see what we have to show off!  

999,999,999 Total number of customers.
10 email addresses per customer.
10 phone numbers per customer.
4 addresses per customer.
9,999 Total tickets per day.
9,999 Total Menu Groups (Coffee, pizza, ice cream, smoothie, sandwich etc.).
999 Active specialty or signature items per menu group  (Latte, Mocha, Meat lovers, Veggie etc).
999 Active modifiers per menu group (Vanilla, pepperoni, wheat, hot, cold, extra shot etc).
99,999,999,999,999 Inventory items.
99,999 Total employees.
9,999 Active employees at a time. 
5 Cash drawers per workstation.
30 workstations per store.
195,000 Unique price tables as well as flat $ pricing ($1.00, $2.00 etc).
Unlimited Discounts.
Unlimited Coupons.

Total tickets, customer order history and reporting all based on the size of the physical hard drive.
Other neat statistics:  SP-1 has many installations where the customer has been using our software for over 15 years!

Updates?  SP-1 has gone through over 87 version releases (free when you are on support) and over 500 minor program revisions since 1994.

Stability?  Over 6 of our employees have worked for us over 10 years.  Total combined SP-1 experience through Customer Service & Tech Support  is over 80 years!
