The new stuff in the article is a mention of the IBM
event last Wednesday, an after-hours event down by
the convention center put on by Renegade Marketing.
I and three others helped demo Lego Mindstorms, and
it was quite fun.  The Lego visual programming environment
is very well suited to the walk-up-to-a-table-and-play-with-it convention
crowd. I imagine it would be that way in a
classroom, also.

I got to play with the Dacta "Red Rover" set, which
used a tethered QueBall camera.

In case you missed this story in today's slashdot (yes, it's
only a pointer to Excite):

(A reprise of the Tom Stangle LEGO story written up by
the associated press...seems trimmed down, and doesn't
have photos, but still...Enjoy!)
