Never thought I'd see the day...
Yesterday a lady with the Sheriff's department came into my business, (which is also an Internet Cafe') to show her friend her new laptop she just got from ordering online. I noticed the brand name was "Everex." Something rang a bell and I asked her if I could take a look at the screen. She gladly showed it to me and it was Linux!! Back in 2002 if someone had told me this would happen sometime in the future I likely would have laughed at the improbability. My, how things have changed!

About the closest I have been to that is in a local(ish) shop, looking at their computer/register, and realising it was running Linux.
I believe I blurted out something very 'girly geek' at the time too.

That's pretty cool.
Did you happen to notice the distro?If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate! (Zapp Brannigan)
My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

Dude... That's awesome! Now I know Linux has started to come into it's own with the mainstream!
