Well, you just gotta meet a friend of mine whose on fire!

Not only is this guy an ARTIST ...with a capital A ... but a BUSINESSMAN ... with a capital B

His name is Mike, ... and you may have heard of him. [Wink] Check out what he's been up to lately.

Since there is flash involved, I don't think I can take you to a link directly.
So follow this route once you are on the site.

* click on gaming (lower left arrow)
* click graphic under revolutionary new product (top thing in left hand column)
* click start for flash
Read the list of features to the right of the photo.

www.dell.com

Incidentally .... Dell contacted Mike about this venture.

That's right George ... and better yet ...
I think they are selling at about 10 grand each!

Sweet!

Little Letterhead done good ... in grand fashion!

Next time any of you out there think about devaluing your own work ... give it a second thought!

Wow... I was gonna say I gotta get me one of those, but I don't think my accountant could even begin to justify that kind of expense... Much less me justifing it to my fiancee...

But that is one bad a** machine.

There's nothing better than watching Mike on TV and bragging to all "Hey! That's my buddy!"

Here's a couple interesting links from the days Mike was still Our Star.

Hey Mike! Those KillerPaint T's are always a big hit on Resident Draw nights. [Smile]

Congratulations, Mike. It's always great to hear when nice guys get good deals.

In another 50 years there will be teens running around with Mike's name on their shirts thinking he was a fashion designer or an old rock star.
