Wow,

Even a picture of the Caldera booth before they became suicidal.

Those were the days!  I attended a LinuxWorld in the Moscone Center,
don't remember the year.  What impressed me more than anything else
was the preponderance of MacBook Pros being lugged around by all my
fellow geeks.  They ran Unix, after all, and you could get under the
hood in terminal or xterm so easily.

Don't know that any one of you even cares to look at any of these,
but here they are nonethe less! :) I recall at the time thinking,
"Wow! All this just for Linux?!??". Of course, the next day,
08/11/1999, was the day Red Hat's IPO hit Wall Street. Because I had
taken so many shots on Day 3, I didn't bother lugging around my
trusty Kodak DC260 digital camera (a bit of a brick by today's
standards). Most unfortunate that I didn't, though, as the place was
swarming all around the Red Hat booth. And, I missed a great photo
op with Linus himself over by the Hard Hat Linux /  MontaVista
Software booth. In looking back through these now, over 2 decades
later, what has come out of the Linux world is nothing short of
mindboggling! We went back to LinuxWorld 2003 at Macone Center in
San Francisco, and the massively expanded grandeur of that 2003
event over the 1999 one proved beyond a shadow that Linux's ship had
indeed arrived big time. At any length, I thought that someone
besides just me might enjoy some blasts from the past, that in
truth, really doesn't seem like so long ago. Time flies when you're
having fun, eh?! :)
