If you like stamps, then you should like The BX-24 better.  It uses a 
more "normal" version of BASIC.  It is really easy to use, and there 
is lots of software for it, though not as much as the Stamp.  It is 
faster and has more RAM.  Its worth the extra effort to port the stamp 
programs to the BX-24.
