| | | | | (...) What? You won't have enough bricks to play with while you're at work?? *grin* My suggestion: Zip-Lock bags. Lots of them. You can dump each container into a bag, zip it up, and put the bag back into the container. That way even if the (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.storage)
