[.....] How about some non-geeky paraphernalia (your mailer doesn't do spell checking, does it ?) ? I can't see myself ever wearing a FreeBSD T-Shirt or peaked cap, but I'd certainly invest in a few mouse mats or mugs. I'd be happy to take them into work too, thus ``promoting the cause''. Given the $$$s (or a volunteer), you could also organise one or more FreeBSD screensavers that run under Windoze. People that are stuck running windows at work - I'm required to run Lotus Notes :-/ - can then do their bit too. > - Jordan -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
