Thanks, OdyX. :)

Both sponsors are happy to send us some lanyards for free. They didn't
suggest them, I solicited from *them* because I knew they had extras that
weren't in use. Both sponsors are also happy to ship them to the conference,
we just need an address where they can be received. Le Camp? Directly to one
of you guys in Swissland?
Taking into account some of the concerns voiced, I think having 2 different
kinds of lanyards available +/- "clips" for those who feel that wearing such
a lanyard is openly showing support for that corporation (which I disagree
with, but such is the argument) is a suitable compromise. For those who
prefer lanyards, they will be available. For those who don't, there would be
some clips available, correct, Cate?
