I wonder how many Mindstorms have been sold? Assuming serial numbers
(S/N) are assigned sequentially might give a good indication.

I have a RCX 1.0 S/N 022751 purchased when Mindstorms first came out.
And I have a a RCX 2.0 (S/N 591822) obtained when they were introduced
(early 2001?).

Anyone care to report the S/N of a recently purchased 2.0?
