Anyone have a good suggestion for safely storing several RCXs? I think I have 8 RCXs now - yes, I've lost count... It's fun when your employer sells Mindstorms sets, and you can get them using an employee discount! <grin> I'm trying to find a small (...)

I use Gladware, too; it's great for outsized elements, and it's not as cumbersome as tackle boxes. I especially like using Gladware for stuff I have sorted by type and not color, as then I can dump the Gladware container into a larger box to rifle (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.storage)
