As you may have seen in previous posts by myself and other contributors, I have created a Mazingo e-journal for Advanced LEGO Builders. Mazingo is used to sync content from BimP to their PocketPCs and allows them to carry current news, reviews, (...) (23 years ago, 4-Mar-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
