Freebies galore
I thought I'd share with you some of the more interesting items being given out in the exhibition hall at TechEd Developers 2006. In addition to the normal pens and t-shirts, there are a few more, less obvious freebies on offer:
From Intel, USB rechargeable torches
From both Perforce and Business Objects, balsa wood toy planes
From Macrovision, a pen incorporating a bubble wand
From ATX Software, ping pong balls
From Ivar Jacobson Consulting, insulated travel mugs
and the pièce de résistance, from PreEmptive Solutions, black boxer shorts
