Okay, so we should revise the poll to include:

1) Don't buy it.
2) Buy one or more ONLY after you have at least two RIS kits
3) Buy only one.
4) Buy two to get a complete head and extra parts.
5) Whatever else comes to mind.

Now, if you _really_ want to build an R2 unit, you might start at

:) I'd like to know if there's anyone reading this thread/list who _isn't_
an R2-D2 fan.

and build a real droid for a -long- time <grin>.  The sub-text here is that
my doctorate's in neuro-cybernetics, so I get flack about not
'doing anything useful' with 'all of that education'.

<laughter>  Shoe is on the other foot these days, as she's in process
to become as over-educated as I am.

In any case...option (3), right after I get the second RIS.

Cheers,

Roger

(...) Sounds good, given the traffic I've seen pass here. Most (IIRC) have said that they'd buy one (or two) -after- they picked up another RIS, as it will be with me. (...) Thank you, sir.
