Today Dan and I celebrated our love of FireFox. We are now the proud owners of the two available FireFox t-shirts (navy and black), though you'll probably never catch us both wearing the same one at the same time (*or the same style for that matter).
I also got Dan and Gaetano matching FireFox baseball hats. For our office wall, I bought us a limited edition poster of the Firefox two page advertisement that appeared in The New York Times on December 16th, 2004. On its way still are some FireFox stickers and the navy polo shirt for Dan.
If you love FireFox like we do, please help spread the love and buy something to help support your favorite browser.
*Note: I made a funny. If you didn't get it, go back and read it again until you laugh, even if it is just for courtesy's sake!

I'd gladly be caught wearing the same shirt at the same time as you Angela!

I've had my shirt for a good while and all the web-savvy dudes I chill with jock it.
My uncle got one after Firefox blocked "all that junk" from popping up. :P :)
Schweet! :-) Every good web developer should get their entire family hooked on using FireFox! ~Angela

Nope - I don't know anyone in the big smoke :( . Yeah, that's what gets me, $9 (or $15 even) would be more than palatable, the increase in cost is just enormous and to put bluntly, unexplainable.
I was so desparate I just ebay'ed for a Firefox result - and I got harassed by Clint Eastwood DVD's. Ouch!
Looks like I'll just have to sit tight and wait for an Austrlian Firefox branch to open - bwahh!!!
Yeah, I don't get it either... Hopefully it works out for you soon! If I think of anything I'll let you know... ~Angela

I would so love to get my hands on a t-shirt and some stickers. But as usual, down here on the frumpy end of the planet, we Australians get the bum end of the deal.
Shipping to Australia starts at US$57.00 according to the downloadable Word doc detailing the costs.
So a $15 t-shirt, $5 stickers would cost me close to $100 Australian! (a can of coke cost me $1.50 Australian for comparison)
I'll never get to spread the word of Firefox at this rate <sniff>...
What a bummer... Any chance you know someone personally in the USA?
I looked up some int'l rates at the USPS website and it looks like you could have it sent in a large envelope for about $9.
Too bad Mozilla doesn't offer that as a shipping option...
