Bumping into random Ubuntu users

So, yesterday I was in a taxi, on my way to a friends house, and started chatting with the taxi driver. After going through a few tangents, he finally mentions that he also repairs PCs and all that. So I mention that I work for a company that does a Linux distro called “Ubuntu”. Right after I do that, the guy freaks out, grabs his cellphone, opens it (yes, while still driving), and guess what!? The background image was the Ubuntu logo  :)
I seem to be bumping into Ubuntu fans^users in the weirdest places lately…

    Believe it or not but in our university then you go to library where students use internet, most use their notebooks and after walking around and countig linux and non-linux notebooks, numbers are very close. Once I counted about 9xUbuntu vs 1xVista :)
