Hi All, I'm new, haven't even bought the kit yet. I just started reading the messages and I'm very excited about the business model. Has anyone been using a Macintosh? I have a MacBook with OSX and understand I'll need to use Parallels for this software. I'm wondering what tips or experiences anyone'...

Anyone know of a sturdy but super lightweight folding utility cart with a power strip that will comfortably and securely hold laptop, scanner, camera, camcorder and lighting equipment etc. that can be used while actually taking inventory on jobs? They either seem too large, to heavy for trans...
