| Ack! I just found out that reservations for the room can be made one month in advance, so all the Saturdays for February are already full (they do go fast!). So, what would be people's availability for the Saturdays in March of the 4th, 11th, 18th, (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

|
| Sounds neat. I still think we need to build some digital motors, or a train whistle module, with the whistle timing controlled by the voltage on the track. The other idea that might be simpler is to build a larger brick/module with a touch sensor (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)
| | | | | SFX?
|

| Sat night at the Milp Target, I got the last 4561 they had - it was obviously a return, there were lots of things missing, and all the bags were open. I talked them down to $38.03, because I THOUGHT the engine was missing. After getting home and (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

|
| It seems like everyone is finding good deals! I hope to see some great MOC's in the next few meetings :-) At Kaybee Pleasanton I found a 6441 Divers set for $29.99 opened but complete.

I shoulda grab those two as well :( on Sunday the Target at Morgan hill has a copy of 5988 at 47, and the driod development kit at $49 (I think, it's (...)
