  Re: Perl-based bulk set IDer...
 
(...) I noticed it was wrong and I considered fixing it, but it wasn't a trivial change by any means (in this case).

  Re: Best (disposable) battery for the RCX?
 
Well, I wouldn't really even use the batterires unless I was going to do some robot that had to be moving around. I would just use an AC Adapter for it.
