Journal Journal: Credit card signature devices

Journal by byrch on Tuesday June 29, 2004 @11:23PM

Noticed how it is getting more and more rare to actually sign a piece of paper when you use a credit card in a major chain store? The adoption of these digital signature capture devices is becoming more widespread, but it is funny to me that in most cases my signature looks nothing like it does on the back of my actual credit card. Which company has the best and worst implementations of this technology?

You should look into the TDI Jetta engine. I have a 2003 TDI Jetta, and I will just about always hit the 40 mpg mark in the city. That is with about a 20/80 hwy to city ratio. Now on the open road, I have hit as high as 52. May have been a little more, but it becomes a little more tricky to get exact measurments with diesel. It likes to foam up, so you can never really get a "full" tank. Great Car!
