  RE: hi there!
 
Yes it is a bit quiet. I get the impression that there are only about a dozen people who read this (and about half of them are in Victoria). What are your interests in Lego? I'm mostly interested in the MindStorms/Technic stuff, although I bought (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.loc.ca.bc.van)
