All of those are blimmin' superb.

Still got 3 of them in daily use at work. Used for machinery alarm print outs on continuous fan-fold paper to give a chronological history . A4 just doesn't work for the way they are used.

Brilliant! The small Fattmen are showing tentative Legoness (bit young at the mo), this is inspiring stuff!

Dot matrix printers are still out there.
Probably the only impact printer that's still available. They're the only ones that'll print on multilayer forms - like payslips, NCR paper and the like.

Yes they are certainly lucky at the school. The chap who runs the young engineers club is a retired electronics engineer who does it as a volunteer free of charge. They do it 3 nights a week after school so it is quite a commitment for all but the rewards for the kids are great. This is the 2nd time in the last 3 years that they have been UK champions and qualified for the world finals. Not bad for a little rural primary school which is so small that years 4, 5 and 6 are split into 2 classes.
Without doubt the school are very lucky to have such a great volunteer mentor.

Cracking vids and I loved the bot that laid the bridge ... that was a wicked trick ...
I kept all my lego and good to see that my kids play with it now 34 years later

Well worth a visit, and it has a really good shopping centre next door too
I'll bear that one in mind ... looks interesting and I think he would enjoy the museum that we haven't been too as well.

Marg tubs...!!! my mum kept ours too and its been split between my siblings and my self... now the lego in our house lives in 7 boxes. Basically although he likes other toys ... he plays with them a couple of times and then not really again ... lego he is the only toy that keeps on going ... so he gets lego for every birthday, and Christmas and from his grandparents so the collection is getting quite large.
