Man...what a great read. You really took us back. Forget the release dates and the hype. This is what Niketalk is all about.

So what exactly did you do?  Cold you possibly post some sites or examples?

Curious, are you still pursing employment by Nike?

Thanks! Sounds like I should have been writing Lego back then instead!
