Er, um I guess I'm back.....

Been gone quite a while, mainly due to a flooded basement that caused some Lego
box damage (I was so upset, I didn't even want to think about Lego for over 1
year), been unemployed (with a masters degree in computing!), illness in the
family, and the biggest reason....  my 4 year old computer stopped allowing me
onto the internet beyond 1 page (and then it would freeze up... I spent hundreds
of dollars on diagnostics), I just got a new computer on Saturday, so I'm back.

Anyway, I hope to be back for good!

I spent the last 8 months researching a lot about the history of Lego pieces and
sets.  So there will be a few surprises in store....

My new EMAIL address is: istokg@earthlink.net

I still have some unfinished business to take care of with some folks.

Glad to be back.

Gary Istok

P.S. I have a lot of exciting new (old) Lego things to talk about.

P.P.S. Kurt and Phil please EMAIL me!
