Well, I entered for the 100-off "let's evaluate NXT" kits, and would
have been perfectly happy in producing a plug-in package for CrossWorks
for ARM to allow development of apps for NXT, probably FOC.
Unfortunately, I wasn't selected.  :-(  Oh well.  I still have two
bricks and all the Mindstorms accessories which I let my sons play with.
I believe, at last count, we had spent over £5,000 on Lego between the
five of us in the family that play with it, so the next house (which
I've just purchased) is having an extension built with a room
specifically set aside for Lego.

Rgds,
