I just received an e-mail from Lego Media, and I found out that I won. I had a choice of three software, so I picked Lego Loco. Did anyone else enter the contest mentioned by Thomas Main about four weeks ago? Alan P.S. I guess entering all those (...) (26 years ago, 1-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)

I couldn't find the bit in here that might be relevant, so snipped it all! I would imagine that, due to the lack of flame-wars, the more productive and useful postings, the Organization of LUGnet, makes it a much more viable vehicle with which to (...) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

1st of all, I just select "tools, download all," so having to go to two different servers is not really noticeable. OE seems to handle it ok. The only benefits I could see might be receiving some posts sooner rather than later, and not needing to (...) (26 years ago, 30-Nov-98, to lugnet.general)

| | Minifig trip to Carlsbad?

With "take figs to work" day being discussed again I got to thinking about places that might be cool to photograph "touring" minifigs (1). Actually occured to me when reading Mike Stanley's message about taking figs to see Star Wars. The obvious (...) (26 years ago, 1-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
