I went into specsavers the other day to get a copy of an invoice for
my insurance company. Sat down at computer with assistant and she went
through several screens, it soon became apparent that she was not
using windows.

Invoice info etc was all via a browser (firefox) and invoice came up
in openoffice writer so she could print it. While she was off at the
printer I clicked an icon that said "my computer" or suchlike. The
file system was definitely *nix, it had var opt and dev directories (I
couldn't linger as the printer wasn't far away.)

She knew nothing about what was underlying the software she used. It
may have been any unix variant, but it was great to see something that
wasn't windows!
