(...) Along those lines, does anybody know if the 8880 Super Car has any Y2K problems? That is one of my favorite sets, and I don't want it to break a year from now. -Kekoa (25 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Sorry, #8880 isn't Y2K compliant. The original (non-notched) #2 axles will spontaneously combust on 2/29/00. You should upgrade all older Technic sets to use the newer notched #2 axles which are Y2K compliant. Dave (25 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Y2K ?! heck, I'd be happy to use lego mindstorms NOW in 1999. It seems I MUST have my IR tower as COM1 or COM2 (the built-in motherboard ports), either that or the software does not like my Equinox super serial card. With the IR tower on COM3 the (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Now you tell me! I was putting together my *brand new* 8880 last night. It was a very expensive present to myself that arrived via Priority Mail that morning. I was doing a roll over test and had all of my LEGO set to 1999 to verify that the 2000 (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
