I bought two, and ended up giving one away to another NetBSDer I know. One thing
to consider might be something nicer than a T-Shirt. (Not that T-shirts aren't
nice) Many hardware/software vendors are doing the Golf shirt or Jean shirt thing
and I wouldn't mind paying (I know T-shirts would be cheaper) for something that
I can wear to work other than Fridays...
It might also help distinguish NetBSD from the amateur hacker image free OSs
sometimes are labeled with.
