Let the speculation begin!!! :) That is all. Back to (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

     Bluetooth! Cool! Now we'll all be able to control our robots with our cell phones. Unless they're Bell phones. Then we can all pass around viruses and pass them on to our Priuses, or is that Prium,... Prii? But really Bluetooth would be cool. Derek (...)

      (...) We actually offer a few Bluetooth phones now including Mario's favourite, the Blackberry 7250. There was a $0 special recently for it. Calum (19 years ago, 22-Jun-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

     (...) "pass around viruses and pass them on to our Priuses"... It rhymes, so it's my favourite. Now who actually got that top of the line $37k Prius with navigation and bluetooth? And by the way, viruses known to affect bluetooth phones cannot (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

      (...) Not to mention the self parking Prius only found in Japan. (...) So that's the big question of the day. How have them implement remote control? -RF remote control, like the Playmobil train? -Inband track remote control, like DCC? -Something (...)

      (...) Sure take all the fun out of parallel parking. I'm surprised how many times I've talked people though parallel parking better then I can do it myself. (...)

And the great thing was I was dropping it off so he could pick it up later, so instead of entering the destination in to the navigation computer I had to follow a friends car. Made sense to me as I (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

   (...) Well, at least that is a RUMOR! Keep in mind this person is sharing information second hand.

   (...) For sure Todd... you're right.... it IS a RUMOR! I'm taking the info with a large grain of salt - I think I was more excited by the simple news that a NEW RCX is coming in 2006... I think we all are. Play well John (19 years ago, 23-Jun-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
