LEGO can easily close off the consumer market, but they can't do that
through the educational side.  Schools won't spend money with a place
that walks away from products.  Kids break things, lose them, or classes
increase in size or add more assets.

So, LEGO putting the RCX in the classrooms has ensured a way for us to
still by hardware for some time through Pitsco.
