Hello, The Sunnyvale TRU still doesn't have any Znap. It's in the computer but not on the shelves. Has anyone seen Znap in the Bay Area, and if so where? Thanks, /Eric/ (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Well, yes, I suppose I could. But then again, the mindstorms version won't remove Walnut shells from walnuts and even if it did, I don't think it could do 8 tons per hour. Still, I would like to see a mindstorms one as well. Mike Zonker Harris (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

Mark, I can't buy them for less than one cent each, so selling them for that after working on them isn't possible. Besides, I offer them out at one cent for thousands and let the market set the price. I go as fast as I can on the auctions and make (...)

I know this is a Kerosene Cat[1], so I am not going to ask my dad. I don't really want our state of the art nut plant featured as a Lego sorting station.
