[nycbug-talk] Survey for upcoming 'Hacking iBook'

[Aron Roberts]

How is this specific to the iBook if there it nothing hardware 
specific? I could see maybe XFree config files under NetBSD or 
something being iBook specific. Is the iBook just the box you picked to 
name the talk or is there more to it?
