Ummm...B.S.! I also have to bring up that...THEY HAVE ALREADY MADE THE MAC
PRODUCT! Why don't they just bundle it in the Mindstorms level product? Why
are they gouging Mac users an extra hundred bucks? Also, if Mac is such a
big part of school robotics, why in God's name wouldn't TLC want to support
those Mac home users, anyway? This seems really simple to me...
I'm frazzled over this, don't feel I'm articulating myself very well, and
want to really rant, but I'm holding back.
