I agree James, A step is a step! Granted I wish it was a little more
towards the brick also, and not just one programable one.. though at
least we've gotten this far.. It's better than nothing! I think they've
finally realized the untapped potential market, and that can be a great
thing for all of us, TLG included! It does show their attitude is
changing :)
I believe if Russell receives a warm welcome others will be allowed to
follow suit. Hopefully from other departments within the company. (To
bad more departments weren't at MindFest) I have to think that they
chose the Mindstorms section to first get their feet wet bacause they
probably felt they wouldn't be bombarded with people demanding certain
things from them.. which isn't a bad thing... we all want Bulk
ordering.. though we need to let them explore this new territory a
little first!
I could go on with a few other suggestions though I know we are all
adults here or good at acting like one ;-)
I'm just very happy to see one step on TLG's part!
