A compilation of a number of ideas on the list, with a little of my
"thoughts" to hold it together:
On the front, over the left breast/pocket area, a small image of the
mascot - whatever animal/plant/thing is chosen.
in the centre:
Friends don't let friends do DOS/Windows
why?
'Cause a PC is a teribble thing to waste!!
This could be supplemented with some image (like the red circle or
something) of an appropriately labelled floppy disk or other choicey
graphic - prison "gates" maybe?
On the back, a large image of the Linux (Linix ?) logo. Below this,
Linux: the choice of a GNU Generation
or maybe just "the choice..." since "Linux" is already in the logo.

Another suggestion:
Image of dead-beat computer....
This is your PC [with (_favorite_ operating system)]
Image of computer with wings/legs running/jet engines
This is your PC on Linux.....
Any questions??

Is there going to be a resolution on the Linux/Linix/Lunix choices of
name? If so, should happen before the t-shirt thing becomes reality.
(I vote for Linix if this will count)
There seems to be a lot of paranoia about the activities of
liar^H^H^Hawyers in relation to what will be done. If an "individual"
prints up a t-shirt, regardless of what it says, why would
Microsoft/Pepsi, etc concern themselves? also, if the postscript file
is made available for whomever wants it, who would legal action be
directed against? Not a few thousand (hundred?) individuals? How's
that for bad press & customer relations? By the very nature of this
loose organisation, we are relieved of threats of legal action.
I really am out of my league with all this legal stuff, but this is how
I guess it. Anyone with lawyer-smarts out there care to respond?
