...You know, now that you mention it, I was also quite impressed with
how many macbook pros there were in room as well. That would be good
to informally track I think :
what tools(laptops) do NANOG folk tend to use?
as this data might help SW dev types to target their netTools
distributions to mac platforms more quickly.
In the good ole days it seemed like 99% were PCs & maybe a couple were
reinstalled with some form of unix, and the rare and incompatible
couple of macs in the room were driven by freaks speaking a different
language (appletalk) and hitting weirder clover keys than the rest of
us.
Now, Apple seems to be the neteng laptop of choice, what the cool kids
drive.
