One  thing I REALLY want to do is get one of my FutureBASIC apps to 
control the Lego Mindstorms RCX Brick using the USB infrared tower -- 
and doing this with OS X.

I know that there is a Mac driver for the USB Infrared Tower, but I 
don't know if it runs on OS X.  I know the current Mac software doesn't 
(RoboLab).

Lego does have a Macintosh USB and Ghost communications Pacage for 
download <<http://mindstorms.lego.com/mac/SDK.asp>>, but it appears to 
be Mac OS 9 only.   I've got a lot to learn about USB.  It's a paradigm 
shift, but is pretty important for these kind of applications.
