If you have an opinion on either of the following two points I would like to hear them. 1. I have been thinking of adding a "Trading Post" to www.nelug.org.

  Re: Next NELUG meeting and potential Group project(s).
 
Hi Folks, First of all, I'm gonna come right out and embarrass myself, 'cause that's what I'm good at. Can anybody fill me in on what the MIT LEGO Mindfest event is? I was under the assumption that it was all robotics/RCX, but now I'm not so sure (...)

I live in Walpole, which is south-west of Boston. (About halfway (...)
