I still have all my old Fischer Technik stuff, and I honestly
played with it until about 1998 when Mindstorms came out.
I think it was one of the best construction systems
out there, and when I went to Germany in the fall I was
amazed at how far it had progressed.
Still, I'm liking LEGO much better now because you can
make smaller creations, but Fischer Technik really
locked together very well.
I'm probably going to get shot for this, but I think ZNAP
was ahead of its time, and that it might be resurrected as
a building system for bigger creations....
We'll have to wait and see.
