Logo Exchange will publish any hacks developed for using a decent 
software environment (read, Logo) to control the new LEGO RCX 
programmable brick. 

It's a real shame that a product with the audacity to call itself 
Mindstorms abandoned (and so far bans) Logo (despite the Logos that exist 
in the lab for it) and replaced it with the remarkably awful software 
shipping with the otherwise really really cool retail product.

It's ironic that LEGO traditionally threatens people from making software 
talk to their devices, but is now on the record talking about how amazing 
it is that all sorts of hackers are extending the power of the product.
