Just to interject something cool here, you all will be even more famous
after BricksWest!
By special arrangement with the publisher, I'll have copies of "Building
Robots with LEGO Mindstorms" for sale at BricksWest (at 45% off the standard
price of $29.95; that's just $16.50 each).
Syngress (the publisher) has also donated 5 copies of the book to be given
away as prizes during the event. Way cool!
So that's a whole bunch more folks who will get to see your names in print!
Matt
(Who's done hijacking this thread for his shameless event promotion...though
I do think you all will be just that much more famous! We now return you to
your regularly scheduled LUGNETting!)
