I think Rollerblade skates are great, or were, I guess depending on which way Technica goes with it. I agree with one of your prior comments about Rollerblade innovation. I like their stuff.
My first Internet service provider was America Online. I chatted all night with a female customer service representative. She was like LOL every other line, I loved it. I didn't understand how she could devote that much time to me alone [she didn't]. America Online has a different way of doing things. It's not an open style Internet service provider. And now it does not provide Usenet server access.
Have fun anyway.

If you don't know how to skate backwards well, you will NOT pass the skills portion of the IISA L1 test. And it's not a dumb or unreasonable requirement, because when you are teaching, you spend a lot of your time skating backwards while your students skate forwards. -- // T.Hsu
