USB tower. No battery. You will soon see a new host of software that can
poll all the time.
The Power Adapter port is back. This should really save on Batteries. I
have 3 1.0 bricks. Would not buy a 1.5.
And it's rumored that the extra 16k of addressable ROM/RAM is going to
be used...

| The 2.0 may have improvements, but at $110 or so US, the 1.5 is hard to pass up, for someone just starting out with the RIS. LEGO certainly won't be lowering the MSRP on 2.0! :) Andy (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
