"what color is the sky on your planet?" was the first thing that came to mind
when I read the above.
When you read Jakes post realy, there are tons of newsworthy facts!
-there were way too much different colors,
-there were way too much different pieces (we call this juniorization: the use
of one specific (new) part where several normal parts would have worked too),
-there is a special team that is (now?) in charge of the two above,
-this special team noticed the first two points AND DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT,
-it took only three years TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, and that's very fast for a
multinational corporation,
-they DID test their new colors before implementing these,
-they now know that perhaps they should have asked the adults (I use this word
loosely, considering what I have seen on Lugnet recently!) too,
-a large multinational company is admiting it made a mistake adn even goes as
far as to promise that it won't make the same mistake again,
-a large multinational company is giving us a look into its kitchen
When looking at the above points, I feel that TLC is giving us way more than we
deserve - especially when looking at the way that some of us have been behaving
in the forums lately.
Remember: TLC is making TOYS for CHILDREN - everything WE get out of it, is a
bonus.

| (...) Yes, but he left anything out that I'd count as good thinking. He promised to explain complicated things, so complicated that he was not sure wether it would work out in text. But all he brought up was "They thought hard, and hard, and hard!" (...) (20 years ago, 13-May-04, to lugnet.color)
