Getting back to the subject line, haven't you, Roy Schestowitz, ever
been to a dog and pony show?
It doesn't have to be software, it could be anything.
A trade show, COMDEX, SEMA etc?
I suppose being well protected hiding behind the safe haven of
academia, you have not experienced this "8th wonder of the earth".
Freebies are the name of the game and the person who gets the most
"wins".
Tee shirts, gym bags, you name it are all for the taking as long as

PROFESSIONALLY.
Now I know that last one is going to be tough for you, at least after

Someday when you stop being a lab rat they might let you out to be
wined and dined a little.
It happens everywhere.
Where do you think your family doctor gets all those free samples of

Pharmaceutical salespeople that's where.
Just never visit the IBM booth.

They are CHEEEEEEEAAAAAAP.
