Yeah it was there for a couple of days, I believe. That's still pretty quick, though :)

Still there - just downloaded it to check from http://technicbricks.blogspot.com/2010/ ... about.html if anyone is interested.

Do not download and install the 2.1 update unless you are using the EDUCATION version of NXT-G.

Mightor, is that because it will not work properly or for legal reasons? Does that include the revised firmware?

It is not compatible with the retail version. You can download the firmware separately anyway. No need for the 2.1 update.

What would you do if it was for legal reasons? ;)

Not mention it here, that's for sure. Talking about pirating software can't be tolerated here because it can give us problems with Sourceforge and TLG. I don't care what you do at home; run a chop shop, illegal human organ trading or whatever, just don't bring it to the forums. (I hear liver is nice with vava beans a chianti).

So, the week to which you are refering in that post has now passed. If you have the next version of this block out, where can I download it? Will it be on Xander's blog again? I don't check it regularly, so I wouldn't know if it's there or not. Or, if it's been delayed and you were going to anounce it here, then please forgive my impatience.
