actually, no. they have been phasing out most of the SCO related items over 
the last 5 years (they are big and the infrastructure is will ingrained, so 
its been taking time).

anyway, they USE windows terminals in some of their Arizona based stores 
(yeah, I know, one monster for another).

I just wish their IT dept would pull its collective head from its collective 
rectum and see that linux can offer them the same capabilities and at 
considerably lower costs.


btw, part of my info comes from a family member that works for checker/Parts 
America. (www.partsamerica.com)
