So that still leaves me shirtless :) Nick – fair enough – but I’m a CFUG manager and I’m more apt to give shirts away to meeting attendees vs. stocking my closet.

We are shipped a healthy supply of all this geek-ware on a fairly regular basis. The place to get these shirts, stickers, etc. are from your local User Groups!

They're just a waste of material and space to me. ;-)) But, I too always complain that our user group does not get the swag it should. We are a CFUG and got Flash and Photoshop t-shirts. Oh, and Flex shirts. :-( On the other hand I still think the swag should not be given away for free to everyone. Make it giveaways at events instead, even at such small events as local UG meetings. That rewards those being active. Just me $0.02 I somewhat disagree… one thing is that I couldn’t care less for stickers. They’re just a waste of material and space to me. ;-))

Sort of retro. :-) Maybe Adobe don't want geeks to be seen wearing the Adobe logo? They'd feel better knowing that only the "cool" designer people who use Photoshop and Illustrator wear their logo. Or maybe those people are so cool that they find it uncool to wear stuff that promotes computer software? So whichever way you look at it, it's not worth Adobe doing a print run of a dozen T-shirts! ;-) I have an Allaire fleece (a bit tight around the tummy now) and an Allaire pen (still writes!) and I consider them cooler than Adobe CF gear because they’re the originals.
