That article makes us believe that at least concerning LEGO, the MindStorms and CyberMaster sets were only the beginning of something much much bigger.
I guess this list will never run out of topic, nor all those hackers out there out of hardware to hack.
LegOS, NQC (and all the others): Are you ready for starting all over again in a new hardware/firmware platform? :-)
I'm already imagining in a few years from now, pointing to my CyberMaster and say: "I started in one of those" :-)
Jonathan, if you don't release that MindStorms book fast, I believe that when you release it, it will be already outdated by the new LEGO PBricks.
