Bad support is bad support - I'd tend to think that an irate parent of a 8-12 yo
would make more bad press than an irate 34 yo - after all, as adults, we *can*
got get a Handi-board if we really want a powerful CPU.

Again, I see this as the domain of A-R adults - looking at the kids' creations
in
the LEGOMania flyers, they tend to be all over the map on 'realism' and
'accuracy',
and the kids seem just as proud of a big, blocky robot as an intricate Technic
creation.
