Reverent Legoists,

For a mere five percent of your legos I will send you special
cans of Lego(tm) air.  I bring this down once a week from the top of
Mount Lego(tm).

This air can be used in all of your pneumatic devices.  Also,
for those holiest of legoists whom have taken a vow of silence to
utter nary a word except for lego part numbers, you can receive a
giant Lego(tm) bubble within which you can construct your models.
This will make sure that any non-lego air never gets trapped between
interlocked pieces.

AhuhAHuhahUHmen,  (<-- gregorian style )
-Paul

Just a question,

Where an inmature lego follower can find the Lego Purity Commandments? I am
a kind of new in this _religion_, but I hardly try not to be a sinner.

Thanks for the Light in the Darkness,

David

I have made the following personal observations about LEGO, and why it is • my

   Moving back to a subject more in line with the original • subject of this
thread, in my original post, I was not so much lamenting the
limitations of
the
RCX itself (well, maybe a little... but that wasn't the point I was • actually
trying to make).  Rather, I was primarily expressing frustration over the • lack
of viable options in the way of a robust microcontroller board that fully
integrates with LEGO in the same way that makes LEGO so much fun to work • with in
the first place.


Ahhh! Soooo, It is not so much lamenting the RCX, but rather lamenting a
more robust microcontroller's (which ever one you care to choose) lack of
Lego-ness. ;)

Makes sense!

I fell my earlier rambling still has merit, but perhaps your original post
should not have be referenced as it's impetus.

1.  My <tongue-in-cheek> comments on Lego Purity should be taken with a
grain of salt, as it is appearing more and more like I may be dancing with
the Radio Shack devil sooner than later.  Oh well, you can't have
a religion
without sinners ;)

(...) I've just got one thing to say to you - MEGA BLOX! Yes, it was meant to be funny, don't flame me I've had more than a thousand million of them already... Yes, that was another one - laugh, damn it, or I'll tell another! (25 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
