Hi Eric.
I agree to a point, but I use LegOS because I'm a programmer and I like getting
dirty. And it does allow me to do things RCX code can't - I used it on my tower
crane www.lugnet.com/~469/projects/towercrane so I could control both RCXs with
1 remote. That cannot be done with RCX code.

I also used some lubricant on the main turntable, though with a bit more work,
this may have been unnecessary 8?)
I have modified Lego in the past, but since my dark ages, the bricks themselves
have remained "pure". I've even resisted people urging me to buy Mega Bloks for
bulk grey bricks. So far. 8?)
