This brings up another question I have. Since I will now have two RCX's can
someone give me a short summary of how to use them? Can both be used from the
Mindstorms software, or is something better required (since I've only had 2.0
a week, I haven't gotten frustrated enough with the Lego software to abandon

if this is a FAQ, or well documented-- I've done a quick web search & came up
with nothing, but I have so far invested only a few minutes on research.)
Thanks!
Mike

| In the end, it all comes down to the power connector on the original 1.0 RCX. If you don't mind buying batteries while you're trying to debug your code, then the version you buy doesn't matter.
