Aren't those Legos in the photos? They must have been very young. ;)

Believe it or not, I still use Lego today, in machines as jigs for holding obscure items straight. Wonderful stuff :) Cool pics too, thanks :)

Nice find Chndru! Thank you.

Actually, they're Duplos, not Legos. Duplos are for little kids and grad students who haven't developed fine motor skills. :-)

But still interesting. Supposedly the block colors triggered the theme that used to this day by Google.

The computer store was closed so Serg sauntered into Toys-R-Us to find a computer case. Those must be the first Googlebots sitting on top.

Toys R Us - computer store ... same thing isn't it?

Fry's Electronics / Incredible Universe is just T`R`U for big kids '...from RAM to RAIDs, in rack-mount bays...it's the biggest toy store there is...' ;)
