That's why I said I hope they edited a lot out, I also would find it
hard to believe we make these decisions based purely on website
research . . . but the link provided DID lead to a story (as did a
search for the quote, based on same suspisions you raise), I just wasn't
in the mood to pay $1.50 to read it and see what was edited out.
Went back to do more research and got distracted by another headline
there:
LEGO Mindstorms are out!
*grin*
You can place advance orders for those toys at www.robotstore.com,
shipping in two to three weeks. They priced them at *choke* $198 a
set. (Good thing my little bros have birthdays close to christmas so I
can "bundle")
