    He likely to be here Sunday because Joe Decuir will be here who was in the documentary Atari: Easy to Learn, Hard to Master. Bil Herd was the narrator. Too bad you will miss Ken Thompson who created Unix. He will be here Saturday.

    Yes, Bil Herd was there until there Friday and left around 1:30PM Saturday. He has a chronic back condition which was acting up and didn't make it there Sunday.

    We posted the keynote for Joe Decuir here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlVpu_QSHyw
    And Ken Thompson here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY6q5dv_B-o
