Its not silly at all.  It has to do with what is available for use within a
classroom that is supported by curriculum, resources and activities.  It is
very difficult for most teachers to do these kinds of projects without proper
support.  While NCQ is great for AFOLs, it really does not have the level of
support that Dacta provides with RoboLab.  This is not a matter of simply
software, but of allowing students to have good experiences with the MS
products.

(...) Sure, but why should those teachers/students able to use NQC be banned? I can (perhaps) understand banning it for being too powerful, but if that were the case, Robolab should be banned too. (25 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
