Re: RC 20 or Boomerang

That's because all that programmable functionality was added on in 
software after the form factor was set.  The original Boomerang didn't 
have any programability, and the LED system was designed for that 
functionality.  Updating the ROMs didn't require a huge retooling 
investment, but updating the display definitely would.
