I've had it for at least a year. It could be older and there may be a newer version now. My complaints were that it was rather limited in the "length" of a program allowed, even though the CodePilot will store the bigger programs. And I believe the (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
