I read this to mean that everything gets down sized 25% except train track,
which won't get updated at all (maybe it's like the Monorail thing: not worth
the effort to retool).
I'm still hoping that Mindstorms will adopt the 1-Wire Micronet standard so that
we can have essentially a sensor bus using the exising wiring but only requiring
1 sensor port on the brick. Micronet is a cheap and elegant solution and it's
here today.
I note that the announcement doesn't characterize the "overwhelming world wide
reaction" as good or bad. Don't ya love corporate speak?
Well, at least one good thing will come of it: John Neal will get his wish and
all trains will be 8-wide (or more!).
