448: OpenBSE T-shirts, as well as Blowfish T-shirts, which sold out very quickly
449: at a table donated by the Expo. OpenBSD was the only BSD represented at the

492: Usenix gave us a table in the vendor area where we sold 2.4 CDROMs,

494: "Because security matters..." t-shirts, polos, and sweaters.

575: project offers. Angelos held a panel about IPSEC (which is quite an
