Also black t-shirts and/or shirts with the D logo ( http://d-programming-language.org/images/dlogo.png ) would be nice :) (Funny fact: the german cafepress page translates Digital Mars to "Digital März" and "Mars Mousepad" to "März Mousepad" - "März" is german for the month "March") Cheers, - Daniel |
