    Now, does this fall under that "great minds think alike" thing, or are we just that sick and in need of help? :rolleyes:

          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 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. :(

                      For a moment there I read the date as 1944-ish...man, was that a double-take. :)

                                        A car is always nice, but short of that a shirt is golden and makes much more sense from a marketing perspective.

                                          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

                                          With some of us, the chain and ankle bracelet doesn't reach any conferences :sigh:.
