What looks nice to me is that part of the way through, it mentions a giveaway of 5 RIS 2.0 sets, and sets a QA date of Apr. 17th. That would seem a pretty absolute guarantee that we'll see RIS 2.0 no later than this Xmas... which would be pretty (...) (25 years ago, 1-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
