This is copyied from "Mindstorms Not Just a Kid's Toy" by Paul Wallich in
IEEE Spectrum September 2001:
"With version 2.0 of the RCX firmware due this fall, the original hardware
may have gone as far as its designers can take it, and what directions it
should take next are unclear. Lego is mum about its detailed plans. Even so,
arketing executive McNally suggests that more RF communications links are in
the ffing, while Web site director Stoll is already looking forward to
Mindstorms 3.0, which he claims will make even the most demanding
profes-sional users happy."

not only joking.
