By default, yes.  But I *like* having printed proceedings, and would
happily pay US$20 or $30 for a book similar to the one I got at IPC10.
(Although I would expect it to be competently copy-edited first.  Yes,
I'm willing to do that for a few papers.)  I wouldn't pay 10 cents for
proceedings on CD-ROM though -- it just seems silly and gratuitous when
I can find the same stuff online.

About t-shirts: how about getting some made that are actually
comfortable to wear?  I hate the big-splotch-of-rubbery-ink-stuff school
of t-shirt printing that dominates my Python t-shirt collection.
