The FreeDOS fish may have looked nice 20 years ago, but today....
Ps, what about a new logo?

Eric asked for more details about how many sales we had on the Zazzle
store, so I looked at the spreadsheet again. There's a column called
"Product ID" which suggests an individual item purchased. But looking
at some of the "earned" values for those rows, I think this column
actually indicates an order in total, not an individual item. (For
example, one purchase has an "earned" value of over $8 .. that's a lot
if it's just a single item, but it makes sense if someone bought
several tshirts in one order.)
With that assumption, my spreadsheet counted 75 orders total, since 2011.
Of those, 51 orders were made between 2011 and 2021 (when we were
charged the first "Non-Contributing Account Fee"). In other words, 2/3
of the purchases were made in the first 10 years, 1/3 in the 5 years
since then.
Also: the "Non-Contributing Account Fee" was always $2 (US) for every
month that we were charged since 2021, until January 2025 when it
started to vary (sometimes 19 cents, and other times almost $2). I
have no idea why it varied. I ran a calculation to see the amount that
must have been sitting in the Zazzle account each month, and in
January 2025 we had just over $7 in the account -- and that doesn't
seem like a "special" value where they would start charging a
different "Non-Contributing Account Fee." And it doesn't seem to be a
percentage of what's in the Zazzle account since January 2025; by
percentage, the "Non-Contributing Account Fee" is all over the place,
from 3% to 50%.
Max value in the account was $69.41 in Dec 2020, before the account
was charged the first "Non-Contributing Account Fee" in March 2021.
