Notes from the Main Sequence: Eric Reid - Sun ISV Engineering

Shhh.... be vewwy, vewwy quiet... we-yah hunting laptops! Hehhehhhehehehehehehhhhhh...

As I strolled up and down the Drupal Sponsor table promenade this morning here at DrupalCon DC, it occurred to me to make note of the various Personal Computing Fauna about. Kinda like the Audubon Society bird counts. But not really.

A ten-minute walk was enough to capture the following variants in their natural habitat:

• Macintoshus Numerous - 70.5%
• Laptopus Win and Laptopus Lin - 26.5% (Subspecies Netbookulus - 3%)
  
• OpenSolaris Rex - 3%

I am struck by the ubiquity of Apple -- as well the paucity of Netbooks -- in this vibrant, grass-roots community. Take this for what it's worth (or not worth, as the case may be).
