        For the 100th running of the Boston Marathon, DIGITAL created and maintained the WWW site sanctioned by the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) and furnished its latest technology to create a unique information system for the race. An RF chip on every runner's shoe provided race information that was tabulated and available on the BAA's information system. Here, DIGITAL employee Bob Johnson runs for the finish line.
