It's easy to get by in Europe, I know several folks who are switching to 9V
to be able to participate in events. But the signals usually don't change
hands, since those can be modded to work on 9V too ;)
As for the snipped part : remember target market! Many of today's kids can't
properly use a hammer or something like that. Common sense got lost with
the introduction of the "squared-eye" fenomenon it seems. I remember being
around 7 and playing with electrics and electronics (nearly electrocuting
myself on several occaisions :D :D ) Most kids these days hardly know how a
lamp with switch works! Times are changing, and LEGO's changing along.
