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 rollover would happen without any failed
parts.
#2 axles! How was I to know they had embedded controllers!
I was on step 12 when the box containing the rest of the parts
burst into flames. If it wasn't for my quick thinking the RCX
would have been next.
Dave, next time *please* post this type of information enough
in advance that I can have my Y2K SWAT team in to inspect
the system *before* failure.
