(...) Todd Lehman was the first person to post in every single one of these groups. :) You missed out before you even started. Plus, the server has been up on Alpha test. We are now commencing Beta test. Sarah HEacock sarah@eskimo.com (26 years ago, 28-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Sarah was an Alpha tester. :) And really stands out in my mind as having contributed immensely and positively. --Todd ObRobotics: I can only find 2 of the expansion sets at the store.

Re: who was the 1st non-north american to possess mindstorms??? —Joshua Delahunty

(...) How funny, since I JUST got done hearing from Suzanne (through e-mail) about how Exploration Mars won't be out until next year (after I wrote to her with about the same reaction you just wrote). You two really need to talk more. :-P Anyway, (...) (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) ! we talk all the time about LEGO stuff. Probably why my memory about it is so bad. She's the Technic-head in the family anyway. :) I'm Space Boy, remember?

Re: who was the 1st non-north american to possess mindstorms??? —Karim Nassar

(...) Speaking of SW Lego, I just finished a first draft model of Kyle Katarn's ship... I forget what it was called... "the Moldy Crow" ??? something like that. Anybody know what it is called? I'll post images of it on my web page soon. --Karim (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: who was the 1st non-north american to possess mindstorms??? —Joshua Delahunty

(...) Hmm. I read what Todd wrote ("Come to think of it, I can't even remember when Star Wars is supposed to come out next spring") as referring to the film, not the sets. An offshoot of his being "Space Boy" over "LEGO Space Boy." I now realize (...) (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: who was the 1st non-north american to possess mindstorms??? —Sarah Heacock

(...) *grin* I'm excited to FINALLY get a chance to see Star Wars in the Theatre. Even if it isn't REAL star Wars. I don't care about beating the crowds when it's a movie I've been waiting for long enough! Sarah (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics)

Re: who was the 1st non-north american to possess mindstorms??? —Larry Pieniazek

(...) I must be old. I remember seeing the first Star Wars movie when it first came out. I was in San Francisco at the time (it was June, 1977, about a month after it was released) and it was only playing at 1 cinema. We waited in line for 3 hours, (...)

Re: who was the 1st non-north american to possess mindstorms??? —Suzanne D. Rich

(...) It's much worse than that, I'm afraid. We rarely go shopping one without the other, and we rarely have time for play. We work independently.
