IBM POS 4694

The IBM POS 4694 was the finest piece of technology ever made. It was 100000000% more complex than a particle accelerator.

History
After the success of the IBM 4683, IBM decided that the only suitable technology for proper retail was the finest technology that could possibly be conceived. So it was that they began on building the first IBM 4694, first by employing the advice of demons and inter-dimensional beings, then by disturbing a small crack in the universe, tearing it further open in the hopes of obtaining the most advanced materials in the universe. Though the hole they tore in the universe cost 98 people their lives, IBM celebrated when they found that had gathered some form of matter previously unknown to humanity. Working quickly, they soon unveiled how to utilize the technology to make the greatest register of all time, but soon they realized something was missing.

It was a healthy dose of Florida.

IBM was uncertain of how to proceed. How does one truly capture the essence of Florida? So they rounded up 250 Florida residents and ground them into a paste. After they mixed this paste with a sample of their otherworldly technology, they discovered a distinct lack of anything worthwhile happening. Distraught, 9 IBM executives committed Seppuku. A few months later one of the greatest IBM scientists, Dr. Lunx discovered a solution, use the ground of Florida. Ecstatic, IBM tore Florida off the map and utilized the Florida ground with the wildly advanced technology to create what they had long sought after: A register so advanced it could create life.

All that was left was how it would look. They ordered the finest plastics that money could buy and employed the greatest designer of the 90s. It all came together in a look so sleek, so aesthetically pleasing, that many artists retired out of shame. So there it was, the IBM 4694 at last. All that was left was marketing. And at that IBM excelled greatly.
