I was in Jaycar (electronic shop in Sydenham) yesterday and I was looking
for a part.  It was not on the shelf, so I asked the guy behind the
counter.  It was not in the catalogue, but I knew I had seen it on the
Jaycar website.  He turned to the PC behind the counter (which is normally
running a text-mode POS application) and fired up a web browser.  Nothing
struck me as odd when Konqueror started up...

A few seconds later the non-oddness became odd.  Most shop PCs run Windows,
or are terminals onto a Windows server.  Jaycar runs Linux! (in its shops
at least).
