Yea, one wonders what my life would have been like if I was a few years
younger and got to play with the Technic they got at my high school
while I was in college. I was a real sucker for it when Mindstorms came
along and then I discovered Lugnet etc. because I had already looked at
LEGO several times for gaming (but couldn't imagine getting enough to
really use, besides, how would my lead miniatures stand up properly on
all those studs...). Boy, if Steve Jackson had published the Pirate Game
earlier, I would have been sunk long ago, ah well, better get on with
the sinking....
