   The Gurus of Unix Meeting of Minds (GUMM) takes place
Wednesday, April 1, 2076 (check that in your perpetual
calendar program), 14 feet above ground directly in front
of the Milpitas Gumps. Members will grep each other by the
hand (after into), yacc a lot, smoke filtered chroots in
pipes, chown with forks, use the wc (unless uuclean), fseek
nice zombie processes, strip, and sleep, but not, we hope,
od. Three days will be devoted to discussions of the
ramifications of whodo. Two seconds have been alloted for a
complete rundown of all user-friendly features of Unix.
Seminars include "Everything You Know is Wrong," led by
Tom Kempson, "Batman or Cat:MAN?" led by Ritchie Dennis,
"cc C? Si! Si!" led by Kerwin Bernighan, and "Document Unix?
Are you Kidding?" led by Jan Yeats.

(Send all flames to /dev/bh, I didn't write it!)

(What is /dev/bh you ask? The Black Hole device of course!
 Just link /dev/bh to /dev/null and write an interesting
 manual page for it.)
