Enough sitting by quietly! It's time to add my two cents.

I agree whole heartedly with Fred.  I'm very new to robotics.  In fact, I haven't
really started yet.  I've been technically intertested for many years but felt 
the experimental kits were either too expensive or too mucha toy.  I'm hoping
my purchase of the miniboard kit will get me started with a real project.

I wouldn't know about it at all if it wasn't for the "noise" on the net.

There seems to be very little real robot-industry info sharing going on 
here. So it makes good sense to use some of this bandwidth for promoting
and encouraging the hobby/industry.

** Start sermon, with flames on low **

And don't be so hard on people who are trying to do you a favor.  The one thing 
that bothers me most about Usenet is how people take advantage of "freedom of 
speech" and seem so eager to flame with the slightest provocation.  It's OK
to bitch when, but don't be destructive.

** End sermon, let the all-expected flames begin **
