| | | | | | | I agree, I also ordered the book largely as a way to repay Dave. Of course, I expect to enjoy the book too! Thanks Mark and Dave (and Kekoa too), I wouldn't have bought the RCX without this software being available. --Mike Kory Nick Taylor (...) (25 years ago, 4-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for the kind offer, but I'm not looking for anything specific at the moment. I think its just the concept of being paid in Lego by Lego that sounds cool!

| | | | | | We can never "Pay Dave Back" for NQC, but we can Pay Forward by taking our Lego and MindStorms stuff into our local school, 4-H club, Scouts, etc, etc and showing kids what Robots and Intelligent Machines are all about, and teaching them NQC.

I often fear that my half-siblings are being raised in a vastly different environment than I was, but then I see them eagerly build their own designs out of lego, and figure most things will work out.

| | | | Well, I have Dave's book, and have finished it. If anyone is interested, I could put a comparative review of both books up. Oh. I see you are interested. OK, I will get to work. Give me a day or so. --Jack Gregory Mark Winters (...) (25 years ago, 5-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
