is verrrrry nice.

I'm definitly going to order another... but it'll have to wait for my budget
this year is only 100 bucks a month for LEGO and I already went over in
January buying this one (as well as a HP set and the RIS 2.0 cd's)

But I'm going to have a great time putting it together.

More than that... Iain throws his hat into the forray with his poor attempt
at trash talk.

I believe that the Runamok 'bots have a pretty good record thus far and why
would I want to ruin a good thing?

I'm thinking about caving and buying yet another RIS set, just for the USB
connection (as well as another RCX, 2 motors 800+ pcs, etc)
(or buy a USB to Legacy mini-port-replicator for 150, whatever)

So that'll clear my budget to June.

I called the Sears Clearance center in Brampton and they said the RIS is
gone :(  So I'll have to buy new at cost, unless one of my fine friends out
there in the GTA finds a bar-goon anywhere for an RIS 2.0.

Anywho, that's my LEGO tales for today.

In article <GqvDIw.Fu3@lugnet.com>, dkoudys@redeemer.on.ca says... (...) If you decide to go with a USB-to-serial adapter, be sure to buy one at a store that has a no hassle return policy. I remember reading on the Mindstorms website that the IR (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So I finished building it on the weekend and let me just say it *almost* was as much fun as the Space Shuttle. The amount of 'air' inside the model is something I dislike--having the engine just 'hang there' in the open like that bothers my sense of (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
