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.
