Then you could say more with less, and arouse curiosity, e.g. |---------------------------| 1 The power to serve 2 3 http://www.FreeBSD.org 4 or use line 4 instead of 3 (I'm not sure whether line 4 would lead onto line 1 without a gap or not, and that's important), so that some text is visible at any angle. People don't usually spend much time reading pens :-) The name is obvious from the URL. Another way to spice up the mystery would be something like: |---------------------------| 1 My other writing tool is 2 FreeBSD 3 4 http://www.FreeBSD.org |---------------------------| 1 My other writing tool has 2 the power to serve. 3 4 http://www.FreeBSD.org |---------------------------| 1 My other communication tool 2 has the power to serve. 3 4 http://www.FreeBSD.org Come on folks, think of something better. Whatever doesn't get used on pens will give us ideas for other uses. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
