The classic UNIX Magic Poster was designed by Overacre and
distributed at past USENIX conferences. It featured a white
bearded wizard surrounded by UNIX system related items, including
a spool of thread, a black cat, a boot, a fork, pipes, buckets,
a number of containers, labeled tar, null, awk, uucp, and
C.
