What do you expect :). It's probably how most of us got started in science
and technology at such a young tender age.
Now that we are older we have rediscovered our past, plus we can afford to
spend more - which was always a problem for me as my mum and dad could
never afford too many of those big sets!
Which a I longed for.

What would people have said at University if they had seen me playing with
Lego ? It's different now we have mindstorms it's a much more acceptable
learning tool for adult engineers (robotics or computers)

BTW what's RTL I keep seeing it mentioned on this list.

Plus of course this is the Internet - not too surprising that computer programmers tend to use it... :) Simon (URL)What do you expect :). It's probably how most of us got started in science (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
