Re: OT: Quick Lego Survey

[John Yates]

Too old to have played with Lego as a child.  My equivalents were Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys and especially Erector Set.

By the time I became a father Lego had appeared  Both my daughter and my son received many Lego sets.  We had an elaborate storage system intended for part in a workshop into which we organized the bricks as part of project tear down.  I spent many happy hour building Lego with both children.

Not an Emacs developer here but still want to share my memories.

I played with LEGO. It was unaffordable in India. It was only when someone travelled abroad and returned, we could even hope of getting a LEGO kit as a gift.

The first kit we got had very few pieces and we soon ran out of options. After a many years, we got a fire engine LEGO kit with many pieces. Mixing the 2 kits, our imagination was the limit!

Much later, LEGO partnered with an Indian toy manufacturer and it became more affordable.

Tetris in GNU Emacs always reminds be of LEGO due to the color and shape of falling blocks...

<angry>The plural is "LEGO" NOT "Legos"</angry>

I did.

I've also worked for LEGO where they taught me to be as annoyed as they
are about people pluralizing it wrong.
