A Internet-enabled method and system for designing and manufacturing bar code scanners of modular design and construction using globally-based information networks, such as the Internet, supporting the World Wide Web (WWW). play by the pivotal movement of the plurality of display panels relative to the mounting assembly through a first range of motion and by the translating movement of the plurality of display panels relative to the mounting assembly through a second range of motion. 10. The information display system of claim 9 wherein the index mechanism comprises tubes. 11. The information display system of claim 10 wherein each tube is independently rotatable with respect to the mounting assembly. 12. The information display system of claim 11 wherein each tube further comprises a plurality of projections. 13. The information display system of claim 12 wherein the plurality of projections comprise index tabs. 14. The information display system of claim 13 wherein the index tabs comprise serrations. 15. The information display system of claim 14 wherein the serrations comprise teeth. 16. The information display system of claim 15 wherein the teeth are compliant. 17. The information display system of claim 1 wherein the at least two discrete positions are spaced apart about 45 degrees. 18. The information display system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the plurality of display panels includes at least one display board providing at least one display surface. 19. The information display system of claim 18 wherein a height of the display board is selectively adjustable with respect to the track system. 20. The information display system of claim 1 further comprising a carrier for at least one of the plurality of display panels. 21. The information display system of claim 20 wherein the carrier includes a frame onto which the at least one of the plurality of display panels is mounted. 22. The information display system of claim 1 further comprising a partial height panel wall coupled to the information display system. 23. The information display system of claim 1 wherein the index mechanism is indirectly coupled to the plurality of display parels. 24. The information display system of claim 23 wherein each of the plurality of display panels is adapted for pivotal movement with respect to a mounting structure. 25. The information display system of claim 1 wherein the track system is linear. 26. The information display system of claim 1 wherein the track system comprises two rails. 27. The information display system of claim 1 wherein the track system includes at least one rail. 28. The information display system of claim 1 wherein the pivotal movement of the plurality of display panels includes an indexed range of motion. 29. An information display system comprising: a track system adapted for attachment to a mounting structure; a plurality of display panels coupled to the track system for pivotal and translating movement with respect to the track system, each of the display panels being adapted to present information and the information can selectively be presented for display by the movement of the plurality of display panels; to selectively retain at least one of the plurality of display panels relative to another of the plurality of display panels and the track system. 30. The information display system of claim 29 wherein each of the plurality of display panels is adapted for pivotal movement with respect to the mounting structure. 31. The information display system of claim 29 further comprising a plurality of containers each being adapted to include a first display panel and a second display panel of the plurality of display panels and a mounting assembly for attachment of each of the plurality of containers to the track system. 32. The information display system of claim 31 wherein the mounting assembly includes detents for facilitating pivotal movement of the first display panel with respect to the second display panel of each container. 33. The information display system of claim 32 wherein each detent provides a tactile indication when the first display panel of each container has been pivoted from a closed condition. 34. The in
