I agree with Russ. We heard you say what hardware you are running and we still said that we want to see the demonstration. I would say to bring your hardware and let's see what you have. I, for one, want to see why you are using Apple and/or Windows vs Linux for your automation.
This should be a good meeting and will probably be longer than 15 minutes due to questions from our members. Finding out about the interoperability between other OS's or what one has vs another is very interesting to me and I cannot speak for anyone else. I hope you reconsider as well.
