Buying a laptop
I went to buy a laptop. Asked the guy what hardware this very cheap laptop had inside and happened to mention that I'm going to install Linux to it. When I was leaving he got curious and said so you are going install Linux to it. I said Yes, and said that I have used mainly Linux for a long time and my desktop computer only has Linux. Then he went ahead and asked so you have graphical desktop there and that kind of stuff...

..He was suprised.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, THESE GUYS ARE...
yea, there a lot of dull witted sales people working in tech. Then again tech can be rather escoteric and folks can focus to the exclusion of a wider world. But in all honesty the guy did not get that a desktop is the GUI. Ah the abstraction of lingo.
and, DUH. :)
I hope you said "No, I have 32 text-only consoles and do everything in esoteric program called EMACS".
These guys better stay away from the voodoo...
