If TLG has been listening on LUGNET, then RCX 1.5 will have a 500 MHz
processor, 1 Gig of RAM, 64 sensor inputs and motor outputs, all powered off
of a 30-year rechargeable battery, and RIS will include a pair of color CCD
cameras as sensors.  Oh, and they'll include a new mental telepathy
programming language.  And of course, a list price of $4.95...

Don't forget everlasting, non-toxic neuclear power, and the ability to fly.
Besides from that it will be water proof and unsinkable. It will be able to read
your e-mail loud to you, and answer your phone - speaking intelligent to the
caller - giving him the impression, that he has really spoken to a proffessor at
MIT. It will start to miss you when you travel, and will eventually buy itself a
ticket for the plane. If you buy more than one, they will start to breed, making
a comfortble busness for you :-)
