Yeah, I just gotta match the 300.00 price tag. I NEED A JOB!!!
LEGO needs to get more Mac support, and they've been taking heat about that
for a while, so maybe they'll wisen up a bit.
I know a fair bit about the RCX and all that, and I'm telling you, I'd LOVE
it! And I think I figured out how to connect the sensors like you say, but
it is fairly complicated.
Signing off,
