As for Paul's comment about the daemons. Yes,
Kirk McKusick who
actually drew the original BSD daemon with purple sneakers, was wearing
the infamous blue tee with said logo out walking on the street, as one
someone else in the party (maybe Sam Leffler) sporting a 10 anniversary
USENIX shirt in San Antonio many years ago, which has the daemons shown
top of a PDP-11 with pipes, the null device, et al. He has quite a
tale of the experience.
The daemons on the PDP-11 with pipes was drawn by Phil Foglio:

and this image was the inspiration for the BSD daemon.
