Either it's Mac OS or Windows. Clearly we move in different circles. I have never seen a FreeBSD project member give a presentation with Microsoft. A couple with Apple, yes, which I didn't understand. And you can find a photo of me in front of eureka.lemis.com, my FreeBSD desktop, at http://www.lemis.com/grog/. Yes, that's one computer driving those 4 monitors. I have been using BSD almost exclusively for over 30 years. In the beginning there was no FreeBSD, only BSD/386, but I have been using FreeBSD since 1995. I have done all my presentations, including a couple that were Linux-centric, with laptops running FreeBSD. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/Papers/linux.conf.au.pdf and http://www.lemis.com/grog/slashdot/ for the Linux connection. I'm not the only one. As Poul-Henning Kamp used to have in his .sig when that sort of thing was fashionable, "Real hackers run -current on their laptop." And of course there are many more.
