I barely hit thirty and I already start to feel that way (as evidenced by frequent rants on HN on dumbing down of software).
I feel for the guy. Sad thing is, the people refusing to use a powerful and efficient piece of software because they can't click or swipe will be suffering and wondering why their job is miserable. And the customers standing in the queue will be suffering too - especially the ones who've seen efficient POS software being used in other shops.
And as an aside the best and fastest POS I ever used was a DOS-based system. I ;earned to key on the number pad because of it (now I need any external keyboard I use to have one). We actually got so good we could key up entire processes, invoices before the screens could update! This was pre-iPhone/touchscreens everywhere and I thought it looked old and outdated when I started. My appreciation grew after working with it, though.
