Unix Guru Evi Nemeth Missing, Feared Lost At Sea

Nemeth, 73, is known as the primary author of the definitive Unix systems administration guide and for other works on Unix and Linux system administration and cryptography."
She, and show some respect. Honestly I hope I'm active enough at 73 to go cruising around the world in my yacht.
wow, everyone assumes she is a dude because only guys would know how to write Unix and Linux sysadmin books?
No, it's a reasonable assumption given the actual Unix writer demographics and given the somewhat non-descript first name. Or is it that whenever you hear the word "nurse", you immediately and involuntarily imagine a guy in 50% of the cases because you're perfectly gender-balanced and oh-so-detached from reality?

But absolute proof that a poster hasn't clicked on any of the links in the story --- all three of which describe Evi as female and the Wikipedia bio including a photograph.
