Credit Card swipe device for Mac OS via USB port

I'm a freelance photographer, selling art at weekend shows. I need a MAC OS compatible credit card swipe device (reader) to verify credit card transactions (Visa, MC, Discover, AM EX, etc.) to PayPal. Most such devices are Windows (ugh) compatible - would appreciate any help available. Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.2), 23" Apple Cinema Display/Epson SP R1800 Printer

Hi Jimbo5451,

I have a good friend that runs a paintball store in So Cal and uses all Mac hardware for his POS terminals. He's been using this company's software and hardware for about 2 months and absolutely loves it.

My business primarily is web-based, but I do some trade shows and public events where I sell product and accept credit card payments.

I chose USBSwiper to meet my needs. You don't have to have internet access available when you are swiping your transactions. The USBSwiper program will record the credit card info and then you can run all of your transactions when you get back to an internet connections.
