| (...) Hey Dave, Peeron is wrong on some of the 60's dates for grey. In 1963 (Christmas 1962 to be accurate) grey plates in 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4 and strange as it may seem 8x11 came into production. These early ones were Cellulose Acetate. They (...)

An AFOL-parent has the advantage that they can be (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

| (...) I didn't say profit was their only principle, I said it was a primary one. A company doesn't make changes just because they think it's an improvement. That improvement has to cut costs or increase revenue (via increased customer satisfaction (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.color, lugnet.lego, lugnet.general)

| (...) Your comments above are excellent. Short, concise, and sums it up. I like 4 through 6 the best. #3 is probably the least convincing statement of the 6 IMO, but is still true.
