I'd honestly say 3/4 of my wardrobe has a Macromedia product on it. Everything from baseball hats to cool jackets to scarfs, and T-shirts as far back as Flash 3 days. I have one of those MM Timbuk 2 bags, loads of pens, and various nick-nacky things - CD car visors, the works guys - they send me stuff all the time - even a few of those little TMM pins. :) oh man!

How could I forget this one since I was responsible for making it happen in the first place..... <br /> <br />Macromedia Hot Sauce! <br /> <br />Which was my idea when MAX was here in New Orleans because my hot sauce clients (http://www.hotconcepts.com/ and http://www.hotsaucezone.com/) are big MM users and it was only a natural fit to get a MM branded hot sauce out of them. It was something they wanted to do for a long time. Reason I forgot it is because I never opened it up (and won't) because I get hot sauces from them all the time. I even designed a label for them when they did a Y2K sauce back in '99. Stupid me! How could I forget this one since I was responsible for making it happen in the first place…..
