So the 1.5 Mindstorm PC based programming software (does it have a real name,
to minimize confusion?) that uses the drag and drop based GUI should work fine
with the 2.0 firmware. It just won't provide access to those features.

firmware features) enough to warrant getting it and not even bothering with the
1.5 software (not firmware, PC software)?
