    We're having a bit of a debate in the office at the moment. At every conference I go to I end up with a bunch of stuff that's branded with company's logos and stuff. What sort of stuff do you like getting best from these things? cheers, Chris Maunder

        I, for one, really liked the rustish colored pens that had CodeProject plastered on 'em that you gave us at PDC. ;)

                        I usually just end up throwing swag in a pile somewhere, or in a drawer, and never using it. Eventually it all gets thrown out the next time I clean my apartment (which tends to be twice a year) ;) The only swag I can recall actually liking and using was an Oracle fanny pack, which I wore while bike riding. I got it back in college, which would've been 1994-ish. It finally got worn out last year when a plastic clip broke. :(
