My VERY FIRST impression is that the RCX is faster than the NXT.
In my two previous tests with the RCX it took about three days with standard
shipping to arrive at my door (counting from when shop@home sends me shipment
notification). My test with NXT is still running and going on four days. The
data I've been able to extract from UPS indicates that the NXT could possibly
take twice as long (six days).
I'll try to write up the full comparison of results when the NXT test case
finally completes, but most likely I won't have time because I'll be playing
with my NXT instead of wasting everyone's time with stupid joke posts such as
this.
