asterisk users - Jul 2008 - OT Astricon/Digium Beach Ball Mailing

Just an FYI for Digium.  I received a mailing today from you guys
which was nice.  The price of mailing was ~$1.60 and inside was an
inflatable beach ball.

Cool, but I tried to blow up the beach ball and the the seam where the
part opens to inflate the ball was not connected to the ball
whatsoever, so it went right in the trash.

I wonder if the sick heat had anything to do with it, was mine just
bad, or should Digium get a refund from the promotion company for
providing garbage?

Anyone else get one?  Was it OK or junk?

I post this not to put down Digium, the thought was nice, I wish I
could play with my Digium beach ball, but Digium should know about it
if it was common.  Postage alone was costly.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

Steve,

It is with great sadness that I read your message. Yes, we just had a
thread about the Digium Tweaker (tm), the Digium Pen (tm) and the
Digium Mouse Pag (tm) and darn it, they've always provided the best
swag of any tech company. Now this news. The world has become a sad
place indeed!

<removing tongue from cheek> you're right to tell them about this,
though,  for the reason you stated. Thanks for sharing :)

I mean this without a hint of sarcasm or derision toward you or Digium, but:

Award for ... most bewildering asterisk-users list post ever!  :-)
