One of you crazy uTron guys should actually try to use it for an extended period of time and then write a review on it. I am actually curious.

Sure, once I grab some free time. I don't currently have the μTron with me (didn't want to risk it flying around the US), but I have used it for extended periods.

I'm curious how you pronounce μ-products; in Greek, μ is pronounced like m, but is called mi (μι). Mitron? Mtron? M'tron? G'Kar lol

Well I usually refer to it as myu-tron, though μ usually stands for "Micro" in engineering. So "Micro-Tron" would probably be a sort of full name.

But I'd have to scour their website to really be sure (It's often referred to as MTron though).

i always pronounce everything with a μ as "u" (you). I'm an ignorant white bastard like that.

It's pronounced mi-tron or micro-tron (full) I think.
Here are some random users.
Written, I've seen the Japanese either label it μTRON or MTRON or MicroTRON but never uTRON.

That looks correct, yes. Wikipedia [Μμ Mu] is wrong, Japan correct.

Actually I got that from wikipedia.
The pronunciation is within square brackets: [mi], and the i is pronounced as in seems.

Yep, but the name of the article is wrong ;)

Oh my...I didn't get the point of the post until I saw the 3rd picture of the sneakers...(hehe I didn't really read the forum titles...) But damn those are some custom kicks...

However, if I'd put that on a pedestal all the guys will ask if it's Jordans and I'd reply...no...it's keyboard sneakers... :ugeek:

We all know where that's going...haha

I used to bike and almost got those grips. But I heard they were too soft and people ran holes through them easily.
However, Aaron Ross is a great rider, he always has bright colored bikes.
