Speaking of Linux hockey jerseys ... anyone interested in this one (see attached)? Terry On Mon, Jan 11, 2021 at 10:41 PM Anthony de Boer via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

What was a moment for you of GTALUG at it's best?
Way back when an actual published book about Linux was a totally new concept, O'Reilly sent Matt Welsh on a book tour to support "Running Linux" and there was a tour stop in Toronto. I was sitting in the second row just behind Drew Sullivan. Matt started describing the then-latest features in Linux, including its ability to run SCO Unix binaries. Drew started to correct various technical points, exasperating Matt to the point he stopped and exclaimed "_I_ wrote the book!" to which Drew replied "Yes, but I wrote the kernel code".
And I'd be remiss to not mention the otherwise-totally-forgettable computer show downtown that had gotten Linus Torvalds to fly to Toronto. TLUG (as we were then called) presented him with a TLUG hockey jersey with a big "1" on the back. There was a beer reception afterward.
