Just to clear up on this point, ShopSite did not grow out of Minivend.
Tallyman (Early Akopia product) was engineered by the same developers that
created ShopSite (Tallyman was an attempt to improve on ShopSite, plus make

into Minivend to create Interchange.

That concludes today's history lesson.
