Sorry if someone already mentioned this and I missed it.

In the May-June 2000 Mania Magazine on page 6 in "the Adventures of the
LEGO Maniac" comic, look what symbol is in the computer screen ...
LUGNET!

Again, sorry if this is old news but I thought it was interesting..

You gotta be kidding me!  Wow.  Are there any scans of this up anywhere?
I don't think our copy of that issue has arrived yet...

Tom,

Thank you for this.  Thank you very much.

Do you see anywhere in any fine print on that page or any other page noting
that LUGNET and the LUGNET logo are trademarks of LUGNET and/or its owners?

AWAKIANALBASOTI [1], but I think that this use is a) within fair use and b)
cool and fun. It's not really a mention -- rather, a little reference in the
background. Those of us who know what it is will think it's cool, and those
who don't will not notice/care. Perhaps a few will try to figure out what it
is, but I don't think that the sort of person likely to do that is the sort
of person likely to be confused.

'Course, it woulda been nicer if someone would have asked Todd/Suz first,
but my guess is that it wasn't done as an official decision, but rather
something put in by an artist with the intention of making a pleasant
surprise.

IHTAOTLAILMUNAOTF [1], I think its cool, but there is a minor concern
on the asking Todd first deal.  If they put some fine print in it
would be better too.  I wish they would boldy come out and promote
Lugnet though...  It'll get there in time, TLG is moving in the right
direction.

[1] I'd have to agree on these lines, and I love making up new
acronyms on the fly

Your welcome Todd.  I was surprised I was the first to mention it, I normally
get mine after everyone else.

I saw Larry answered you questions about the trademarks issue. Same
observations here, even with a magnifying glass, nope nothing.

Hmmm.... what about the poster on the wall? And the logo of the T on the
skateboard? That poster looks to real to be just a comic one.....(Even though
it''s pretty blurry) can anyone read what it says?
