"coffee slave".....want some coffee Lord Cattington? :lol:
really nice to see how IT is taught nowadays, when I was in school the IT course was voluntary (of course in the afternoon when all the others were at home already), and it even had no effect at all on the school report, there was just a little remark like "IT course: taken".
that's the computer we had in the IT course btw:

Moved this to the Hardware category since I intend to experiment a lot on these poor robots.

Yeah I will see if I am allowed to take them apart :D

Don't bet on it though, a toy like this costs $2000, and since it's not produced any more I assume that it's rare and even more valuable now.

I got another picture of the one I am working on at the moment, as well as a video of it in action. There are no memory cards for the robots since the school has destroyed them all in their "experiments", so I am fixing new ones (needs special ones, so hard to fix). Anyway, the video only shows the diagnostics program running in the Aibo, where it tests all the hardware functions.
