(...) A co-worker just lent me his new copy of Dr. Dobbs Journal (November 1999) which contains the article by Markus Noga called Designing the LegOS Multitasking Operating System. Haven't had the time to read it yet, but I thought I'd mention that (...) (26 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It doesn't seem to be up there yet, although I didn't have much patience with their web site. (It's (URL) in case you want to try for yourself.) I tried to search for "Lego" and it told me it didn't know what to do with the "L". I'll tell you (...) (26 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Yes I would recommend it for young children. So far the youngest ROBOLAB programmer on record is 4 years old (or maybe 3). There are many things in the new ROBOLAB 2.0 (out soon) such as scientific data graphing and analysis [see the pictures in the (...) (26 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
