  1. Dug out some of my old Lego Mania magazines today; some interesting historical tidbits: - They had to remind people to save copies of their photos for themselves because that wasn't an automatic in the pre-digital age - There were still 9 planets bc Pluto hadn't been delisted yet

      - A lot of their photo collages that I thought were so cool at the time included stock photos, but in a pre-internet era that was still impressive because it wasn't like just anyone could find them online like today

        - LEGO Island wasn't just a computer game, it was a "CD-ROM game" (because apparently there's a difference) - People's home photos really looked different in a pre-digital era; there were a lot more lighting, focus, and red-eye issues back then
