(...) Ted, I would love to see some pics of your mosaic. I am toying with the idea of making one for my kids school, (URL) logo is pretty colorful, and I think it would be cool, in about 320x120 resolution (7x3 48x48 baseplates). dave (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains.org.scltc, lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)
