I am revising the BricxCC GUI a bit and I would like to get some input from users. Do you care about docking toolbars to the left, right, or bottom of the BricxCC main window? In other words, would it bother you if that feature was removed? What (...) (19 years ago, 15-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, FTX)

Hello, I currently own two Mindstorms 2.0 sets. I'm wondering buying a SERIAL/USB adapter for connecting a Serial IR Tower to a MacBook Pro (intel processor) under MacOS X. Do you think NQC/MacNQC will work fine, detect the IR Tower and the RCX, (...) (19 years ago, 5-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
