I followed an introduction course on programming while in college. This was the first class. Never seen so much 20 year old play with Lego. Also never seen so much students attend every class off the course. Great! I followed an introduction course on programming while in college. This was the first class.

Robert - That's why you have kids - so you can play with all the cool toys they didn't have when we were younger. Seriously, you should see some of the really wild remote control toys they have out now. My son got a remote control Dragon Fly that is unbelievable. I need to make a video of it flying, too.
