This update to the article discussed in this thread is taken from the November 2001 issue of Business 2.0. It isn't on (URL) so I thought I would run it through OCR and post it here for everyone to see. LUGNET gets a mention (but not a URL), and the (...)

Well, I've decided to share it with you all finally . . (...) (23 years ago, 28-Sep-01, to lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) On the ABC Radio network news at the top of the 7 o'clock (PDT) hour this morning they mentioned the LEGO recall. It was the last blurb they did-- in the spot they generally reserve for news items of a lighter note. Maggie C. (23 years ago, 27-Sep-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch)

(...) Interesting. Of course I'd qualify the Alpha Team theme as a whole as "Toys that promote Heroism". The comic in 6776 shows the "heros" prevailing. Perhaps the set would have been more acceptable with a couple Alpha Team minifigs and a small (...) (23 years ago, 27-Sep-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.mediawatch)

Ok, I agree with the *possibility* of the name being a problem, but I am more concerned about the hacks themselves being contested instead. However, LegOS is NOT for commercial purposes, so that should be a factor to consider here. I wouldn't be AS (...)
