Seems like I can post again. I wanted to comment this, that I have tried something like this, taking parts with me. It works, but limited, as when I am building, I am also contructing, and since I only had some limited parts with me, my projects (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

(...) Not sure I qualify for "hard working" (possibly hardLY working), but as of right now, we don't have plans to stream a webcast from the live events. This is due mainly to limited equipment and the fact that we don't have some of the expertise (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.events.brickfest)

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" (and, of course, it's cheaper to do nothing), and perhaps the concept of all yellow figs isn't necessarily "broke", but perhaps profits are. Perhaps (...)
