I don't doubt that in the least! I took my RCX brick into VB class the other day and showed it and the manual for programming through spirit.ocx to my teacher. Now he knows what he's asking for on his birthday he said :) Along with 3 other people in (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Indeed. I have purchased, directly, for me and me alone, well in excess of 600 Lego products, only 1 of which is a Mindstorms kit. I can say with a fair degree of certainty that I'm not the biggest spender out there, or even in the top 10. I (...) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.robotics)

Maybe this is a quibble, but aren't the parents of most "kids" likely to be using Mindstorms in the 35+ age group???

(...) If memory serves (remember, I'm one of that older group) the registration form asks who bought the set and then what age would be using it. I would bet there are a number of closet Legotists out there who said they bought the set for a kid and (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
