TireShop to be Re-Branded as Qwik P.O.S.?

Well as I stated before (yes, that was like 1.5 years ago, I know) TireShop development will continue, and has.  I've been working on taking the guts of TireShop (VB.NET 2.0, SQL Server Express 2005) and porting them over to what I think I'll call Qwik P.O.S. (Point of Sale), which will be a C# 3.5 application that uses LINQ for data access.  I don't know how long this will take me because I don't have quite the free time that I had when I originally worked on TireShop, but hopefully I can at least get a quick and dirty version out to the public fairly soon (like Q1 2009).

BTW: The reason that I brought down TireShop on the first place last year was because I received a Cease and Desist type letter from the people who apparently hold the "Trademark" that me calling my application TireShop was "Illegal" </sarcasm>.  I think it's all for the best though because to be honest there was never any part of the app that made it particularly fit for a tire store, I just made it that because I was originally writing it for some friends that own a local tire store.

Anyway... if any of you out there are still interested just keep an eye out here and on CodePlex.
