(...) Good point. I've corrected that. (...) Hopefully, people wanting to program an NXT will be able to see LeJOS is the way to go, for Java.

Thanks, Steve, that'll be a very helpful resource. Would you consider adding cost (or price range) to the matrix? Also, to me it would be easier to read if instead of having YES/NO columns for the OS (Windows, Mac, Linux), the row had OS? And the (...) (18 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
