I've got a MIDI keyboard that can be connected to a PC. It can be used with almost every OS on the planet, from ancient MS-DOS to Windows 7, of course OS X and Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD, and even less common systems like OS/2, BeOS and its successor Haiku-OS. They all support MIDI interfaces out of the box. But -- FreeBSD does not. It's the only OS I cannot use my keyboard with. This is frustrating and annoying. > Come on, it's 2010, not 1985!
