on a very nice model (URL) hope I'm not stealing anyone's thunder but I saw this train in the new folders on Brickshelf and had to post.

I have used LPub in setting up the instructions. Could you tell me how you have used these other programs (Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Fireworks) to create the backgrounds and arrows and how you create the box call out things? I am not very well (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad)

| | Re: RCX3 - Can extra hardware functionality be added?
|

I've seen this topic come up several times, and am curious why no one suggests that the input and output ports be extended from the RCX to pods. Using the same form factor constraints limits the possibilities. Using a more condensed cable connection (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics)

I pretty much love LEGO unconditional. But the supply of the old colours will eventually run out. A lot of parts will not be available in the new colours for quite a while, so it is a problem for Moccers. How would you feel, if you had a car (...)

Well I'm kind of of pissed. ** begin rant ** Curious to find an acceptible substitute for Java, I was looking into cross platform GUI toolkits. GTK+ came to mind but alas no Mac support for the latest version. Then I thought of Qt. I visited the Qt (...) (21 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
