I never disputed the technical feasibility, I disputed the financial feasibility. We certainly can pay S&B for all those things, but I don't think S&B's software isn't as standardized and "off the shelf" as you suggest. Adding all those features to our system, especially open payment, likely ends up costing a non-trivial amount of money. It sounds like we'll buy some of them, like the app, but if we went with Presto we'd get all of them without having to buy any of them.
