Thanks Dean, where did you get your info - have you an inside source? Or
would you have to kill me if you told me???
I was kind of hoping that the next RCX would be a bit smaller. Some nice
Lithium ion rechargeable batteries. Some more I/O. More sensors - surely TLG
must see all the alternate sensors that people make themselves and realise
that there is a market for them for people like me who are idiots with a
soldering iron (and unfortunately I'm one of those funny people that only
likes to use genuine Lego parts. More fool me I suppose.)
In anticipation anyway
Mike
