Was that his first week at the company? I know it was his first year, but I
didn't know he was *that* new to TLC at the time. Somehow I don't think that's
quite right but I could be fuzzy.
I do remember the prototype Bionicles with the sticky tack used to hold the
masks on so they didn't need axles at tight tolerances.
