     (...) I was playing around with it this morning. Lots of fun, drew a happy face with one eye. But this got me thinking, press erase and it's all gone. With the other robot you could see what havoc previous people had rot in the play field. I wonder (...) (19 years ago, 24-Aug-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
