Far out! McCains is the largest french fry producer in the world. Based in a little village in Florenceville, New Brunswick.

"McCain Foods has 40,000 employees and 55 production facilities in 12 countries spanning six continents. It processes one million pounds of potato products each hour and sells one-third of the world's frozen French fries products, in more than 110 countries."

Now we can finaly say "Would you like fries with your playbook?" LoL

This is a great endorsement for RIM.

Recently...I had Sears come over to my house to have our stove checked. After it was done (just had a blown fuse) he pulled out his playbook which was definitely inside a heavy duty case protector. Beside the playbook was a wireless POS (point of sale) printer.

When he gave me the playbook...the app that was being used was made for Sears since my invoice showed the time he came in, the charges and using a stylus, I signed the bottom since I used my credit card.

Then the specialized POS (Point of Sale) printer printed out my invoice with my signature as well. Then I asked is this your own? He said no...it was standard issue for all our field technicians and that they've tried other tablets and found the Playbook was the best in what they needed.

N4BB should also inquire at Sears Canada/SearsHomeServices.ca to see and/or verify this. I can verify this since it was used in my home.
