That would be good to informally track I think :what tools(laptops) do NANOG folk tend to use?Macbook Pro (all of IANA (with one recent exception) use Macs of one form or another).as this data might help SW dev types to target their netTools distributions to mac platforms more quickly.That would be nice.In the good ole days it seemed like 99% were PCs & maybe a couple were reinstalled with some form of unix,
I used to count the proportion of Mac laptops in the room (or, at least, my row) to pass the time when I was bored.
Nanog-29 was the first where I saw a substantial proportion. I remember at the 1999 Washington IETF I saw exactly one, and I
could hear people whisper about it around me. Now, there are too many to make it interesting. Regards Marshall
I remember the 'good old days' a bit differently -- folks were indeed using PCs (Digital HiNote Ultras and hten Sony Vaio 505TXs) but reinstallation was the norm. Maybe it was just to crowd I hung out with...Regards, -drc
