Mindstorm Y2K Bug - build a timer display that freezes when
it changes from 23:59:59 to 00:00:00

Mindstorm Y2K Destroyer Droid - Build a working version

of window elements!)  Only You, the Lego Maniac, can make the
jetliners crash together when the air traffic control systems
lock up at midnight.

I am among the poor souls still waiting for the 2000 LEGO. I went to a WM in McAlester, OK yesterday, and there was a new cardboard standee on the main aisle. My heart leapt with joy! And there was not a single new set in the damned thing. 'twas (...) (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
