I wish Lego would stop blaming the stuff stated here for their loss...
Last week, Lego chief executive Kjeld Kirk
Kristiansen -- grandson of the company's founder --
said 1999 ``began in insecurity and nervousness but
ended with progress and belief in the future.''
The company said it lost money in 1998 for the first
time since it was founded in the 1930s because of
--> increasing competition from electronic toys and
--> computer games. Now, Mindstorms have pulled it
back into the black.
Stop the dumbing down of sets and get out of junior mode and you would
have NEVER lost that money....
Great article though Tom! thanks for posting!
