Yep...I just had a look. My manual is marked the same with circles on the order
form meaning "not yet available". Has anyone got the previously mentioned version
2.0 that lists the program as just plain "Robot Odyssey"??? Does it have an order
form as the last page of the manual?? If so..it might have updated info on if
other platforms were available.
