Not having any way to get a preview image is pretty frustrating, especially if you do a lot of (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

| I bought a used batch of LEGO the other day, and it turned out to contain a large number of clones marked Tyco. Since I don't wnat these contaminating my LEGO, I plan to get rid of them. Is there an aftermarket for these? I had never heard of Tyco (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

| | Camera IR and the RCX

| The price control on RIS is very high. I doubt you will find it discounted anywhere until the next version comes out. Some RIS 2.0 were discounted before xmas, but most were RIS 1.5.

| | Re: Friction on Rotation Sensor
