- Well, when I went to Usenix I spent a lot of time with my spouse, even
- during the day. Of course, he was attending also, since he and I both
- do UNIX stuff for a living. (We even wrote a joint conference
- report.) This solution won't work for everyone, of course, and it's
- hard to implement on short notice for those Usenixes in good tourist
- locations. :-)
