Someone posted this article on the WAMALUG yahoo group. It does require you to register at the site in order to get to the article, but it is well worth the effort. A very long and detailed article that explains a great deal about the reprogramming (...) (17 years ago, 19-Sep-07, to lugnet.general)

"Constraints don’t destroy creativity or product excellence, and they can even enhance them." Exactly. Its funny how Lego had to learn this lesson, when (to me) this is exactly the lesson that their product teaches. (17 years ago, 21-Sep-07, to lugnet.general)

Indeed, a SUPERB article that answered many, many burning questions that I and countless other AFOL's had. However, I missed the part that explained the color change. Can someone quote that? If, in fact, the color change was done to (...) (17 years ago, 22-Sep-07, to lugnet.general)

(...) Say what? Do you really expect them to address the issue of new versus old grey specifically in an article about supply-chain management? Really? How is it a stretch to infer that? Perhaps if you read the whole article again instead of (...) (17 years ago, 22-Sep-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)

(...) The reason I'm asking this question in the first place is because the person who posted about the article initially said "It also explains the change in color pallets." I was hoping that this meant that they were saying that the article would (...) (17 years ago, 23-Sep-07, to lugnet.color, FTX)
