| Important Wintix updates |
 Here are some of the latest updates in Wintix. Please make sure to update Wintix on a regular basis.
- When customer records are marked for deletion to the inactive table, they get marked with the date, time, computer, and clerk.
- The sales receipt now includes the GL code.
- The daily sales report for one clerk generates a PDF.
- The ticket printing section to send tickets to PDFs has been updated. Ticket sizes, orientation, etc. are removed and data from the receipt printing is put in. This gets rid of the page breaks in between the tickets of the PDF.
- The publicity report supports multiple shows.
- There is also a new password permission to determine whether or not a clerk can edit the publicity codes.

| The future of credit card processing - a visit with MerchantPlus
|
 Recently, Center Stage Software visited MerchantPlus in New York City. We have a business relationship with this merchant services provider. Many of our customers use Merchant Plus to process credit cards in Wintix.
We got the inside scoop about the structure and schemes of credit card processing, security issues, virtual currencies like BitCoin, and what the future of transactions might hold. Some things change. Some things do not change. It's interesting to see the difference.

Be careful with modifying seating plans
|
 There are times when you need to modify a seating plan, but we want to remind you to be careful when you do. Because this is not a task performed often, it can be a bit tricky to remember all the steps. One of our customers had patrons trying to buy seats online that didn't really exist because they had price codes in non-existent seats. You can avoid that by "cleaning up the price codes."

credit card security experiment next year
|
 The credit card industry is going to be conducting an experiment in the United States next year. Many countries have already moved to either chip-and-pin cards or chip-and-sign cards to help reduce fraud. But American banks aren't sure which is better, which is why some of us will get chip-and-pin and some chip-and-sign.
While we support anything that keeps our financial data more secure, the results could have some unexpected and costly consequences. And hackers have already found their ways into this system. Read the full article on The Register.com |
A word from the bird
|
As you may know, the birds outnumber the humans at our office.
They think our newsletter is too much about software and not enough about them. So we decided to let them get a '"chirp" in edgewise:

Cockatiels are the most attractive birds, without a doubt
|
Hi, I'm Chirpie-Wirpie. As you see, I'm a handsome bird (like the rest of the cockatiels). I have a prominent yellow crest and a soft gray feathers. My best friend is the loudmouth, Liberace. We sit on a perch together and preen each others feathers. Occasionally, he gets really noisy and I chase him around the aviary until he shuts up. I am the only bird that has been able to teach humans to do anything useful. I have taught one of the humans to massage my neck. It a great thing. Not only does it fluff up my feathers, it helps get rid of the quills I have on my neck.
I will demonstrate:
I have not been able to teach them anything more. It is understandable. After all, they're only human. |
