QNX?

[T. Tam]

I've heard (rumors, never try to confirm it) that McDonalds run QNX on
their order tracking system (the boxes that tell the poor HS kid in the
back how many burgers to flip) and that's linked to McDeadCow HQ somewhere
that tracks inventory, etc.  

Anyone can confirm/deny this, or wanna check it out?  (Did somebody say
McDonald..."? 8)
