Good eye! Yes, some artistic license was taken; the photo is in fact from 1981. I assume, however, that the peopele using computers in this photo were still using computers in 1989. Connection made!
Heck, we can even assume that the people in the photo eventually switched to Slackware Linux in 1993, which one could read about in this new article: http://opensource.com/article/16/12/yearbook-linux-test-driving-distros
OK, a confession: this article was mostly written as a way to deal with my extreme jealousy over people like you, who were savvy enough to discover Linux way earlier than I did!
