I'd personally prefer if the software et al
were on the CD. Yes they will go out of date but
some people don't have net access at home and
may not like having to copy files to floppy in
a cyber cafe - and find that some files are
too large to fit!

# Hello,
#
#
# Several people have expressed interest in seeing
# a CDROM packaged with the Mindstorms book.
# Such a CDROM would contain things like NQC,
# legOS, RcxCC, and links to Mindstorms
# Web pages.
#
#
# My gut feeling is that there's no point: the software
# will be out of date soon after you publish the
# thing, and it's all available online anyhow. I can
# see there would be some value in packaging the
# URLs for the book so you wouldn't have to retype
# them, but it's hard to justify adding to the cost
# of the book for that reason alone.
#
#
# My question is this: to CD or not to CD? Would you
# prefer to see a CD bundled with the book, or would
# you just prefer to have URLs listed in the book and
# get stuff online? Please respond to me personally so
# we don't clog up the list. I'll summarize the results
# if you're interested.
#
#
# Thanks,
# Jonathan

| (...) That's an interesting point. I wonder what percentage of the 80,000+ LMS owners out there are net-enabled. Certainly, of the ones geeky enough to buy the book, almost all of those must be net-enabled...? What are the issues related to (...) (26 years ago, 19-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
