"In 1963, the owner of a drive-in greasy spoon hatched a big idea. St. Louis could have its arch; New York could keep its Lady Liberty-what Marietta needed was a chicken. And thus Tubby Davis, owner of Johnny Reb's Restaurant, and an egghead Georgia (...) (26 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.ga, lugnet.loc.us.ga.atl)

| | Proposal: next DixieLUG gathering
|

Z. Unger contacted me via the web site, asking about our next meeting. He said that he would be willing to host, but his apt complex's rec center costs like $100 for a day. So this got me thinking... I don't have enough open space at my place to (...) (26 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.org.us.dixielug, lugnet.loc.us.ga, lugnet.loc.us.ga.atl, lugnet.loc.us.al, lugnet.loc.us.tn)

| | Discounts/Sales at Target and TRU
|
|
I just got an Robotics Discovery Set (RDS) at the Target near my house (corner of Shallowford and Sandy Plains in Marietta) for $99.99 instead of $149.99. At $99.99 this (IMHO) is a good buy. It's almost worth it just for the 2 motors and sensors, (...) (26 years ago, 30-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ga.atl)

I've spotted the MF and both UCS sets at the TRU's at Buckhead and Town Center (Kennesaw). They had several of each.

I bought one of the 3 sets at the Snellville Zany Brainy. I didn't see any of the other new Star Wars sets there, though.

The local TRU (Kennesaw, GA) had several of the new "Action Wheelers" sets. If I am not mistaken, they are Toolo. They have a little screwdriver-type-thingy that is used to lock the bricks together.

I'm not sure who you saw during the show Greg, the manager "T" was there in the morning, and Jeff the asst. manger was there during most of the show. They've been under staffed for some time now as far as I can tell. I have no idea why T left, today (...) (26 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ga, lugnet.loc.us.ga.atl, lugnet.loc.us)
