Even more interesting (and somewhat of concern) is this snippet from their
FAQ page:

Quote: "Exclusive to schools will accessories that allow them to use parts
of their old kits with the new."

WHAT??  Does that mean that the existing Mindstorms users are going to get
left stranded with building their own conversion cables???  I can see quite
a few people willing to try though.  :)
