We got our kids a large K'NEX kit http://www.knex.com/ last Christmas. It was enjoyed so much we added another big kit at birthday time. Highly recommended. Even though our kids were only 5 1/2 years old at the time, they could handle it quite well with just the occassional assistance from a parent in getting a difficult piece assembled. Like LEGO, K'NEX has the generic kits for building whatever you can imagine but also the special kits for building monsters/fighters/etc. As with LEGO, I'm a big generic fan.
I like what I've heard about this motor kit

E-bike E-xperiences?

I have been considering the e-bike idea (when my office moves to the far end of the city next spring). I haven't done alot of shopping yet but one of the best add-on units I've seen so far seems to be the BionX system http://www.eps-system.com/en/ . The one bike shop guy that I talked to said it was a very smooth system (compared to a Giant Lafree that he bought earlier). But it is a little expensive.:(
And I always thought that "June bugs" looked like this ( http://hortipm.tamu.edu/pestprofiles/chewing/mjbee t/mjbeet.html )
But I could be wrong.
P.S. I'm a fellow Ontarian (just a bit further northeast)
A quick look at MS03-036 and MS03-035 shows that patches are readily downloadable for Office 2000 and newer. They say there is a fix for Office97 but it looks like you need to contact MS support to get it. Does MS realize how many of us are still using Office 97? Anyone know of a place to download the Office 97 patches for these?
Just a little tidbit about the two panoramic cameras on board. The CCDs for the cameras are made by DALSA. For their news release regarding their Mars Exploration Rover involvements see:
