[thelist] OT: Barcode scanners and hardware inventory

[Todd]

We are in the process of moving our office and to help with inventory and
tracking (for both hardware and furniture) I would like to implement the use
of a barcode scanner.  The questions that I have are:
1) has anyone used this technology before for this purpose
2) do you have any suggestions on brands/packages/services/etc
3) is it possible to customize the interface for the software in terms of
what we can track

Any input would be greatly appreciate!
