UNIFORUM attendees where jackets and ties and are just beginning
to learn UNIX mail, except that they forgot how to log in.

USENIX attendees where tee shirts and jeans and patch kernel bugs with adb. 
The rest of their time is spent writing improved versions of shar.c.

DECUS attendees where plaid shirts and black plastic glasses
and spend their time enhancing their printer spooler in MACRO.
All their friends agree that the word UNIX nausiates them.
