John, Yes indeed at that Daresbury Machine Evaluation Workshop - quite a while ago - maybe 2001 or 2002
Mike gave out as the freebie on their booth Boxer Shorts with the Streamline logo on. Compared with giving away say t-shirts, I am not sure how much market exposure they got (!)

Anything canned like tuna is bound to contain too much salt. I believe that that Mike Rudgyard, the chief exec of Streamline Computing, coined the term 'underware' for this. This wa s presentation at one of the Daresbury Lab's Machine Evaluation Workshops, which I can't find via Google at the moment.
