Hi there all,
As I live in one of the counties that 55% of the population in this state
lives in and not one hit yet this year for inline skating, by phone, fax or
e-mail, I decided to conduct a find me on the Internet exercise.
After the four people I asked to do this couldn't find me, I decided to see
if I could.
I have an IMAC powerbook G4, Panther 10.3, in otherwords, best they sell, so
I should have no problems finding me.
These are the results:
The public puts in rollerblade, at least all the people I ask to go find me
did, because that is what they know inline skating as and only sites of course
with this come up. Or, they put in rollerblade Washington, cuz that is where
we are, still no IISA.
So, when I find this out, I put in rollerblade CA, no IISA, rollerblade NC,
still no IISA.
If they can't find IISA, then they can't find me.
So, the question then becomes is there a two type communication going on,
between the inline skating profession and the public? We talk one way and they
talk another.
Anyway, anyone else noticed any problems, they would like to share this
season?
Helen,
Everett, WA
