  Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags?
 
(...) Ah, yes -- thank you very much Frank! So now...assuming all the "accesories" besides the 1x1's are purchased together, and the hypothetical 1x1 plate pack is purchased with shipping costs, and there are no other variables I left out, we should (...)

  Re: How to maximize 90-piece bags?
 
(...) Some quibbles with your math: - Your math assumes no shipping cost for the hypothetical 1x1 plate packs - If you factor shipping into the cost, you should assume all individual items are purchased at once - I wonder how many brick separators (...)

  Re: Keyboard trouble!
 
(...) Indeed. At the office, just replace it. My own keyboard? I'll toss it in the dishwasher first, and let it dry two days or so. Usually works, and when it doesn't, well, I needed a new keyboard anyhow. -JDF (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: I received a virus email today...
 
(...) I get dozens every week -- see (URL). (This last seven-day period was especially bad.) I'm pretty sure it's getting my e-mail address out of the Readme file for IceBreaker, because it often uses subject lines that are clearly snippets from (...)
