Wow, what a journey. I'm glad the original authors took such a rational and mentally healthy approach to such a frustrating situation.
On the plus side, I'd never heard of Chibitronics, but it seems so approachable that I am now strongly considering getting some of the starter kits for my 8 y/o nephew :)
Caveat: I probably will not end up going for it since the book ($10) doesn’t come with the LEDs, the stem kit is a reasonable $35, but with shipping (to Canada) and tax it comes to $63.47USD.
