I think I still have it, along with my "Sex, Drugs and Unix" button from
the Toronto  USENIX that he made, as well as my "mentally contaminated"
button that he made for the AT&T/BSDI lawsuit.

The fun story I tell about the "Sex, Drugs, and Unix" button is that I was
wearing it in the hotel elevator with a couple of the other Masscomp folks
when a basic American family from a cereal box already got on and pushed
the button for a high floor.  The woman sees the button and asks what Unix
is.  Mile Kreuger helpfully replies, *"just like AIDS, only worse." *She
immediately moves her family as far from me as possible in the elevator,
then quickly gets off at the next stop instead of waiting for the floor
they had pressed.  I told Mike that I thought he was cruel.
