	In a nutshell, DECUS pertains to Digital (DEC) equipment.  Both Usenix
and /usr/group are UNIX based, but Usenix deals more with technical issues and
/usr/group's interest is more in the consumer, or end-user products.  Compare
the two separate programs.  There used to be a much wider gap in attendees of
the two; sandals and ponytails vs. 3-piece suits, but it not quite as wide
today. :)
