Title: LongLocks back in 2001

Ever wonder what the LongLocks website was showing back in 2001? Just for fun, let's jump on the WayBack machine and take a look:

LongLocks 2001

[NOTE: although this looks like a functioning web page, you CANNOT order any sticks that may appear to be available for purchase.]

Thanks, BB. I didn't find LL until 2005, I used to wonder about previous styles that are no longer available. I wish I could purchase the color combs and the Zen sticks!

The sticks then and now are beautiful! Thanks BB for the "blast from the past"

It brings to mind the Dr. Seuss book "Oh the places you'll go". LL has come a long way and grown so much! All the resources, and the BBS. Was the BBS around back then?

I think the most amazing development is the sense of community. I used to work for a dot com in the 90's prior to web-based BBS's. We were trying to bring community to the web. The company succeeded in a small extent - they wrote CommunityWare and later Jabber, but never really took off like smaller boards did. I think the problem wasn't in the software, it's in having a common interest! You can't have a community without something talk about. Anyhoo, a little bit of an observation there. ;)

OHMIGAWD!!! What are you doing to me?? Now I am getting requests for ZenStix, and do you know the work I have to go through to make those things into high quality sticks?? Oh, the SANDING and SANDING!! That's why I decided not to release 'em to begin with :P

I think you'd better get your butt over here BB, grab a dremel and get to work, LOL! My hubby just dragged out the drawer of unfinished ZenStix for you, time's a wastin'!

Too funny! :D

ZenStix??? What are these curious things? I cannot load the page, says it's having some technical difficulties. But back to the ZenStix...now *these* sound right up my alley.

Poor Susan.

;D

Sorry Susan - but I did put my disclaimer on the link that you can't order from the pages.

I don't think you'd like the quality of the work I would do with the dremel...you'd have toothpicks instead of hairsticks. ;D

Aaahhh, now I see! I guess things were being finicky yesterday. Or maybe it was just me. :P

All of the stix are just beautiful...as always. ;D

Sakina, I sooo agree with you! Zenstix look very nice and the combs too!

I'd just LOVE to have a pretty colored comb! *hint, hint*

Can they be made with Bill Grout's ribbon beads? :P ;D

I peeked them too. The fact that all pairs except one were sold kept me strong.
