Heh, this reminds me of when I first opened my RCX set. I hadn't used lego
for years, and was working as a programmer, and thought, naturally, that
following the tutorial would be a breeze (not realising I could bypass all
the training stuff, I thought I had to step through it all). Well it was,
and it said 'turn your robot on and check it moves'. I follow the
instructions, pressed 'run', and it was only as the robot shot off the edge
of the table faster than I could grab it did I realise that this kind of
programming actually had repercussions in the *real world*. I had plenty of
time to reflect on this as I scraped around behind and under tables looking
for lost parts.
