Serendipity. Today I found a large black Java mug left on my desk by Oracle when they introduced Java to software engineers. Sorry, too tired to post pic but beautiful red-on-black graphic of a steamy cup.

I was wondering where I got these. Turns out my youngest daughter bought them for me on my birthday when she was still in high school.dlgoff said:
