However, a smaller donation and an FTP install works almost as well. :)

You can argue that $50 still a lot cheaper than any version of Winblows... well, not really anymore if you add 2 or 3 years of upgrades. I know, these OSes are not comparable, but if you were considering that Windoze was expensive to buy...
I'm not in a position to assess whether the project would be able to sell twice as many CDs if they were half the price, receive significantly more donations if the OS was made more popular etc... I just hope that Theo and the gang gave such questions some thought.

I'll just stick to the occasional donation. Although I gotta say, those 2.9 posters are pretty cool. I'm happy I got one of those.

"They really love what they do, eh?"
Plus the 3.5 song introduced a few people I know about CARP and they came back to me with a "So CARP can do this... ?" `Yes, yes it can.'
So yes, I agree; the songs are essential.

And I don't use OpenBSD to make money, so I shall refrain from buying CDs. Although I shall recommend buying them to every man who has money and needs good PC-based firewall.

But it *is* an important medium to vent messages back to the community, if you care to look at the stories told in each song, they are important.
In 10 years, nobody will read the announce document for the OpenBSD 3.0 release or even
run the 3.0 binaries, but people will still play the 3.0 song and analyse it's lyrics.

Just wondering, since announcements (ok, this wasn't an official announcement) should be correct.
Regards,
johannes

Who else out there would appreciate a better selection of "work attire"?

Spoken like a true spoiled brat! ;-)
If you('d) like to support the community, don't care about the CDs and have a thick enough wardrobe that'll survive a nuclear winter: donate!

Look for "Re: Hey, I buy" by tedu.
Good luck... Nico

I agree, I would like to support OpenBSD by bying stuff, but I really don't have much use for a T-shirt.
I would be happy to buy a polo shirt. I never wear T-shirts to work, I always wear a shirt with a collar.
I would be happy to wear an OpenBSD polo shirt.
FYI, yes, I have purchased CDs in the past and I'm planning to buy them again.
Thanks to all the people who make OpenBSD possible!

"...but I've got enough T shirts already"
"...but given enough time, I'll think of another excuse"
If you don't want the stuff that's on sale then fine - don't buy it.
But there's nothing stopping you donating hard cash. Even if it's not a lot, I'm sure it would be welcomed.
Stop being so bloody materialistic and try being slightly less selfish for a change.

Unemployment in the US is at an 8 month high. This does not bode well for the US sales projection. Hopefully the murderous GOP administration gets kicked out of DC and things, the little things, like the economy and being able to feed and house children, will get back on track. Then OBSD sales will skyrocket, and you can build yourself two new computers. Yes, you heard right. Not one, but TWO!

I pre-ordered months ago, and am looking forward to getting my package of stickers, shiny coasters, and shattered-all-to-hell jewel case.
