Each box within the grid was the size of a 1x1 brick. The (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.edu)

(...) I'm not remembering the exact, specific definition of 'isometric', but I've produced some isometric-type graph paper that is quite useful for LEGO designing.

I don't think I can get the school or the PTA to buy any until I look at the lesson plans, and show them how easy and appropriate they would be. I'll buy some of the lesson plans as (...)
