[Asterisk-Users] OT: WAS: * found in Iraq!! NOW: Asterisk bus iness sightings

[Colin Anderson]

So I go into a new Apple store on Sat to buy some stuff for my Mini, and I
notice some Snom 360's on the sales counter. Venturing a question, I ask,
are they using Asterisk? Guys says yes. Cool! I said: What kind of box are
you using. He points to a Mini sitting on the counter! 2 X cool! He's using
a SIP-FX0 converter. 

Plug: http://www.mymacdealer.com great store in Alberta.

Anyone else ran across Asterisk in a setting that they would not have
expected? I like these stories.
