	The classical music theme was amusing too. Luddite's of the world, you have nothing to fear from this machine (unless they crank the speed up 100 times). As usual though, I am impressed by the LEGO machine's design. __________________ Mark Gaulin

	NEAT-O! Even though it is a repetitive sequence of knitting stitches usually done by human hands, it took considerable ingenuity to design and construct a mechanism to accomplish the same movements and end product. __________________ Do Nothing Simply When a Way Can be Found to Make it Complex and Wonderful
