Sunday, July 11, 2004: 11:00 am (Area "B"): Knowledge doesn't move forward without history and while there have been many steps to capture the stories, lore, and data of different aspects of computer cultures, a lot of the same mistakes are made over and over.

Along the way, expect a few bucketloads of trivia and memories to sauce up the proceedings.
