the word "webmaster", I was fortunate to participate in the
design and maintenance of one of the first websites to sell a service
and information over the new “Internet”. I had the fortunate
pleasure to work closely with those people pioneering the then
fledgling "Information Superhighway".
NEATO!
During my time at MicroPatent I played an instrumental role in the
design and marketing of the Original NEATO CD Labeling System. This
included marketing, packaging, the development and technical support
for labeling templates created in CorelDraw, advertising materials,
instructional manuals and shipping. Today the NEATO has patents
in “over 20 countries and has been used on tens of millions of CD's
throughout the world”.
