(...) Good observation. Yes LEGO is dropping the SYSTEM designation for Belville. So now it is LEGO Belville, like LEGO SCALA. Todd and I won't be able to reflect that in the database right away, but we are aware of the change and it will be applied (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.belville)

I found an excellent organizer for my small LEGO pieces at "Office Max" (a large office supply chain). It's called "Lid-Storage Organizer", model number 06-215, made by Akro-Mills, and cost about $11. It has 11 to 46 compartments depending upon how (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Installing LegOS tools
|
|
I've been investigating the use of LegOS as an alternate development platform and have come to the conclusion that as-is, it is too difficult to install and configure for the average person. Professionally, I am a software deployment expert on the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Nope - I just added them for strength - when the train was under my Xmas tree, even with cardboard under the tracks, if the cats stepped on it, it would partially dislocate the joints. So I put them there for strength, and have decided to leave them (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm sitting here laughing, had to share this. When I read Jasper's comments I went to check the official LEGO Facts & Figures book, thinking the trivia was probably pulled from there. I wanted to see if it matched in the book. Well, I don't (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) None that I know of. But there is a sketch for a vehicle with brakes in an old idea book. Look at page 63 in the 8888 idea book. For example in (URL) do you expect the Supercar to have brakes? There are many other things it lacks, such as (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Hi Iain, Richard is correct about it being a air device . I put Hydraulic in qoutes because there was much discussion about Lego advertizing a "Hydraulic" action when no real fluid is involved, unless you count air as a fluid. the New part works (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.technic)

| | IDE using Forth ?

How about a Forth based environment running on the PC? It would not be that difficult to move the RCX based compiler to be a cross compiler on the PC. One would be able to run in two modes - "native" through a Forth based terminal (...) (25 years ago, 2-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
