(...) Yes, it looks like they finally tracked down the source of the lead in the Rubbermaid Engineering Department's water supply: the "Snaptopper" box looks suspiciously like a knockoff of the recent Sterilite offering, but it does seem to be (...) (24 years ago, 28-Aug-00, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I am currently in the last stages of reorganizing my (primarily) Technic collection. For the specialized Technic elements I am now using Zag Professional Organizers.
