  Re: Wat zit er in CyberMaster 8482?
 
De Cybermaster is veel minder veelzijdig toepasbaar dan de RCX, maar de CM kan *wel* zelfstandig een programma afdraaien dat via de PC is gemaakt; net als bij de RCX. Voor deze uitverkoopprijs is de CM zeker de moeite waard, maar ik twijfel of ik (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.nl)

  Re: Ponte Vecchio - Elevated Road Bridge Over Rail
 
Great ideas Erik! Only you've got the wrong Italian city for the Ponte Vecchio. It is actually in Florence. The Ponte Vecchio bridge is very interesting because on top of the bridge are 2 galleries, the lower gallery consists of shops and stores, (...)

  Re: States Go After Online Auctions; $1000 fines

  Re: 4565 is $50 off at Zany Brainy
 
(...) When I called this morning, they said they were not on sale, they were $149.99. I asked them if they were sure, as other ZBs had flyers for them being on sale at $99.99, and they insisted that they were not on sale. I think they also said (...)
