Lines: 14 Imagine a bunch of over-age graduate students standing around in shorts and t-shirts talking about their favourite computing toys while an ever-increasing number of suits hang around looking for the holy grail that someone told them Unix was going to be. It's fun, it's informal, and if you wear a tie you deserve what you get. I missed the last conference, but I'll be at this one and rating the hospitality suites and show toys as always. After all, who'd want to go work for a company that thinks that real programmers want to drink lite beer? Don't forget to bring your YoYos. - Brian
