The two pieces can be connected in many different ways allowing both rigid and flexible connections. " MMmm. Toys. Anyone else remember Construx? I loved those things too.

    All these new fangled toys.. kids have it nice today. When I was young, I had to build my own computer out of a pile of sand and some scrap metal!

    Anyway it's always nice to see toys whose instructions don't consist of "Attach the Cockpit module to the Wing module. Your new F-16 model is now complete! Enjoy!".

    Well... at least this didn't happen, right?

    Am I the only one who thinks Microsoft is a misnomer? Perhaps Macrosoft would be a better fit?

    Ahh.. Construx... That stuff was fun. I remember looking through the little booklets that came with the sets and seeing that you could buy sets with enough parts to build huge bridges and the like. Construx was cool in that the stuff you made was very rigid, so dune buggies didn't shatter when they flew off the curb... :)

    If you follow the link in this comment's parent, you'll find a picture of a person in the upper left-hand corner of the page.

    Is it a man or a woman?

    Just wondering, but if we get bits from binary digits wouldn't the abbreviation for trinary digits be tits?

    Just a thought...
