I've been working with José David Parra on the next version of his (URL) RCX.NET> project, because 1.) the NXT system is coming out, and 2.) RCX.NET is basically a .NET wrapper of Spirit.ocx, which means it's not so nice to program with. Another (...)

Hi, given that Intel Macs come with Rosetta as the legacy compatibility layer, even if LEGO doesn't ship NXT with universal binaries, the SW should run on the Intel Macs with reasonable performance.
