The Amazing Lego DAT Tape Changer

I have used it with OSX and Linux using dump and NQC with some custom shell scripts. It also works under a Mac OS 9 using Retrospect and RCX."

    Except their not latin. Lego is danish (I belive it translate's as "play well"). Don't know about Duplo, could be danish as well. There is no plural of Lego:

    I play with Lego.
    He plays with Lego.
    Look at all that Lego.
    Look at all those Lego bricks.
    Eeek! There's a load of Lego in my server room!
