374: In a review of this year's event subtitled "USENIX
375: and Unix -- then and now", writer Vicki Brown contrasts the first
376: conference in 1979 to the recent one in Montery, California. Although it
377: only mentions OpenBSD in the links section below the article, it's still
378: an interesting read.
