..and mousepads will become less and less popular, with the new
optical mices.  I've just got one myself, and am glad to get
rid of these dust/dirt-collecting pads.

Having just bought one, I remind you that it is not because
you abandoned legacy mouses that the world did the same. Or
will do tomorrow.

There's a shop just up the road from us that does full-colour t-shirts, mugs and
mouse-pads @ about R40 ~ $5. They did  our mouse-pads and it looks great. It's
done with the laser heat transfer method - laser copy on transfer paper
transferred onto mouse-pad via a heat-press. I'm sure you get that in the US, UK
etc. as well...?

Nah, definitely too large for my keyring then :)

Oh, and BTW, the dimensions I was thinking for the image I posted in p..i 
was about 1-1 1/4" long.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.

Nope.

Depends on price. $20 = R200 ZAR which is a little much for a keyring.

No 2

By loyalty, I meant many of us would do anything to help povray financially.

By pity, I was restating the idea I thought it was a bit cheezy, but again we'd do
anything to support povray financially.

The property of "suckiness" I guess is a subjective one in the eye of the beholder,
but for me a keychain stirs up notions of
i) corporate giveaways to employees in years when raises sucked;
ii) NY City tourist traps.

I'd be more interested in a T-shirt designed by Rune or Mick or Anto  OR a bulk
T-shirt deal with some Australian shop where everyone who gives povray  US$35 gets
their own favorite design on a shirt.

Sounds OK to me.

Mine is around 30yrs old but I might be persuaded its time for a new
one.

Most wanted order: 2,4,3,5,6 and 1 (Yuk! Those pokey bits on 1).

Not in the first picture, but now that there's a second picture up I can
definitely see it.  I guess that makes more sense then, I now like it a
bit more.
