| Well spoken! (do you write for something published?) I've only been in computer since mid-eighties, with dark ages for years after Amiga died.... And I hate MS as well. Problem is that like so many others I'm stuck with them because of the company I (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

| hooray Amy, well said. I too have been comptering since the mid70s and abhor mediocrity in all of its nasty nasty forms. specialized toys are faddish and never last, while traditional Lego, by being merely a component, can be reused for ever to (...)

If my needs change, perhaps I'll shop around, but until that time (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

Folks are responding, I think, not out of beligerence or because they're mean people, but rather because they feel strongly about the hobby and have certain ideals they'd like to see advanced. (...)

| (...) Hey, I resemble that remark :-) Actually, my groan isn't knee-jerk at all. I've been programming computers since about the time Microsoft bought MS-DOS and then foisted it upon the world. They got where they are on IBM's name, not their own, (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

| (...) Here's where I disagree with you- I definitely feel that we are better off LEGO-wise than we were even as recently as, say, 1998 or 1999. The sets are better, with far less juniorization; we have bulk packs available, and more on the way; we (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)
