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.

I just ordered Dave's book last night, so I can't comment about its
content ... but if the book arrives with ALL BLANK PAGES I'll still
feel that I got the best of the deal ... been using NQC for over a
year and it hasn't cost me a cent!  If Mark Overmars publishes a
book, I'll also buy it with no expectations other than repaying a
small part of my debt.  If life (and big business) were fair, LEGO
would send checks in the six figure range to both Dave and Mark.

I notice Dave Baum has just published a book called "Dave Baum's
Definitive Guide to Lego Mindstorms," complete with CDROM.

Has anyone read this book?

The cover claims the book includes:
  -- Numerous projects including 14 sample robots to build
  -- Important construction techniques and step-by-step instructions
for building robots
  -- Teaches readers how to program in LEGO'S RCX and the author's own
language, NQC

I'd specifically be interested in any comparisons between Dave's book
and Knudsen's Unofficial Guide to LEGO Mindstorms Robots," but would
welcome any opinions.

Thanks,
Mark Winters
