I think you guys are a little mixed up. Look at the back cover of the
Pitsco catalog you just received. You will see 4 catalogs pictured one of
which is the Pitsco Lego Dacta catalog that you probably received about a
month ago. I was tickled to get the educational catalog because of its
diversity. It didn't frighten me into believing in a MS takeover or
discontinuation of pitsco's commitment to lego.

Well, when I expressed my concern to Lego about the Microsoft tie-in, they
sent me a nice letter in reply saying that the tie in was mainly to do with
the Lego computer games and that Mindstorms software wouldn't be affected.
