That's the only reason to go to tradeshows. I have enough pens and mousepads, shirts, jackets, etc to supply the local gradeschool.

That and business cards.

Why else would you go to a computer tradeshow, to pick up chicks?

Donate them to charity instead of burning them. That way the current board will know what they're going to look like in five years. Sitting on a street corner with a tin cup and a sco shirt.

Fully clothed?
