Why don't you have a way? Many companies offer free sites to anyone, and the
one I use (geocities) comes with a WYSIWYG, user-friendly editor. No HTML
knowledge required. If scanning is the prob, send them to me (via snail-mail)
and I'll be happy to scan them for you.
It sounds VERY cool and I (and I'm sure that other people too) want to see it!
> Still looking forward to "some day"
Yep, me too - planning on the summer when I get to retrieve all my lost bricks
from Israel, then planning on NEXT summer when I'll go back to my (big and
beautiful) house in Israel instead of this tiny and crampy (1) apartment in
which I live right now. I'm stocking on lego right now, because once I get
back to Israel I won't be finding much lego in MSRP prices... (2)

(1) also fits if you switch the "m" with a "p" ;-)
(2) Would you believe that I once saw a 5571 (when still in produce) in
a "cheap" shop for 1000 sheqels, at that time about $350?!?

Yeah, the "prob" is that I don't have a scanner or digital camera! How
prehistoric!!! I feel like Fred Flintstone! Thanks for the offer, if I can get
some good photos maybe I'll take you up on that, toda giveret.

So, what's up, you do summers there and winters here? I guess winter IS kinda
rainy over there, I remember in 91/92 when they had all that flooding - washed
out part of old Jaffa.

Very poetic, you live up to your name!

I wouldn't go as far as to see you're pre-historic... maybe the bronze
period? ;-)

Nah, I do all this year here and visit during the summer. In 92 (I was in
second grade ;-) there was even snow! But it might've been 92/3.

LOL! I love songs. I didn't make this up though, it's a real song with only
the word lego instead of "you" :-)
