To which I reply:  Words to live by.  :)  However I never wear T-shirts.  I
prefer polo shirts.  Indeed I find the message loses its punch when it is
on a T-shirt.

My mind goes back to Interex 1987 in Las Vegas.  Mark Hoff came up to me,
wearing a suit with a white shirt and tie.  On the shirt is a small crest,
on the pocket.  I commented that it was very nice.  He smiled at me, and
without a word does a half turn and dropped his jacket.  On the back was a
huge crest of a screaming hawk.  The emblem of the Early Bird beta (alpha)
of the series 930.  As I had been one of the Early Bird beta testers, he
gave me a large button of that design, which I still have to this day.  I
wonder how many other people have the same button.


Kind regards,

Denys. . .

I was rereading some old posts on another topic and thought this could
be applicable here:

The last thing this list needs is a T-shirt slogan war.  I have seen it
on other lists, and it is a total waste of time.  You should wear what
works for you.  I have never been one to tell people they are stupid for
wearing something other than something I wear.  Rather I have been one
who is willing to share my experiences and "slogans" about the T-shirts
I wear.
