I remember back in the 1990's I was running Desqview.  My sister was the
assistant manager at a local chain restaurant.  Somehow we got to talking
computers one day and the subject of DV came up.  Turns out they were using
DV in the restaurant!  They were using a application called Squirrel which,
IIRC, was where they entered orders, did inventory, etc., and it ran under
DV.
 
Since most places I had worked at/visted as a consultant were running
either Windows 3.11 or WP Office (or, in one case, OS/2), I was surprised
to hear that.
 
Come to think of it, that might have been what brought it up in
conversation.  I had been trying to convince my boss that the solution was
not always WfWg and that DV could be more useful in some situations.  He
was a Microsoft simp so he didn't listen to much else. ;)
