David, I can't stand teenagers then and I still can't stand them today. I did not like my teen years and I am glad I am past them. It's a maturity issue, mostly, and also I am a strange cracker or brick :) anyway. When I was eighteen, I went to (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Get together
|
|
I'd like to have another get together in the Triangle. I can host again, or we can go someplace new. The weekends of August 20-22 or August 27-29 would be ideal, but many week nights would work also. (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.nc.ral, lugnet.loc.us.nc.dur, lugnet.loc.us.nc)

Hi Lugnet! Just finished some two weeks vacation in which I hunted down some tiny little toy stores here in Germany.

(...) That's exactly how I see it, too, except for one thing: it's that "at least until" part that makes me really nervous. What happens when there -are- dozens of clubs around? This could be as soon as 6 months from now. Do we delete or move groups (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.admin.general)

Hi! I have just started to really get into the whole RCX/sensors thing! I've started on some more sophistocated sensors, and wonder if anyone else out there is interested: #1 - Ultrasonic ranging sensor electrically compatible with the light sensor (...)

As we've said, the unprinted red ones were only available years ago. You'd be better off in purchasing the relevant UFO sets today, and simply removing the printing.
