Jeremy,

The Basic Stamp is extremely popular.  There is a huge user base and
a lot of software ideas published.  The BasicX is fairly new ... the
BX-24 (BS-2 pin compatible device) has only been released for about a
month ... so the user base is quite small even though the BX-24 is
much more powerful (and US$10 less expensive) than the BS-2.  There
is mailing list info at both the Parallax and BasicX sites.
