I'm glad I finally got my 1.5 version RIS this year. When the MS "enhanced"
2.0 kit arrives, my robots will act like brain-dead zombies, bashing into
skirting boards and inexplicably locking up every five minutes. Now they'll
have to invent a "grey-screen-of-death" for the RCX.

If and when Lego becomes a small satellite of Microsoft's, it'll all be
