   Ah, OK - you're correct, the unavalibility of a supported environment *IS* a
very good reason :-). Actually, I was in a similar situation with getting into
Mindstorms initally, as all I had was a Mac. Then, somebody mentioned there was
a Mac-friendly enivronment called Robolab, and... well, it was a happy hit to
the credit card. I was *very* happy this generation is starting out with a
Mac-compatible environment out of the gate.

I doubt it'll be very hard to figure out how to get gcc to compile for
the NXT...but if nobody else has it figured out by then, that'll be job
#1 for me.

   Sounds great. I *really* want some 3rd party options out there (personal
bias, I admit - text-based is how I think), but I'm going to play with the
established environment first (I'm not a bit-banging type - get me a language I
can easily use, and I'm happy).
