My impression of the beer-n-gear is that it was just like all the other ones - e.g. Juniper, Cisco, etc showed off their latest heavy iron and there was free finger food & beer. If you came to NANOG expecting to return home with a suitcase stuffed full of free frisbees, t-shirts and key chains - might I suggest that you attend a gift industry conference next time? Joe
Agreed. I don't see the problem with a vendor having goodies to give out however and really don't follow someone being offended by a vendor giving out boxer shorts. Was cisco forcing someone to take the shorts? If someone is offended that easy, boy would they be surprised to see what is going down the pipe. I don't think I've ever been to a convention that didn't have some sort of trinket. It is not why I attend them. It is still a part of the overall experience though. --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc
