I was thinking about plugging it into a larger monitor/keyboard for everyday use. Sure would be nice to lug around. Do you think that's feasible? Thanks, Stephen I was just looking at mini notebooks. I was thinking about plugging it into a larger monitor/keyboard for everyday use. Sure would be nice to lug around.

Do you think that’s feasible?

Thanks,

It is rigorous but the scope is limited to those systems that store, process, or transmit credit card data. Most small merchants can easily segment these systems. For medium-sized many of them need an IT person to be there and help them out instead of simply having them install systems and then never return. If a merchant chooses to outsource the management of their systems they can, but they cannot outsource all risk. I’m sorry to hear you feel that PCI is a tough pill to swallow.
