*****************************************************************************

In Houston at ACM last year I spoke with at least one or two museums who used the blocks and loved them.  They appear to be a pretty well developed product.  But to me Maker Faire is all about the "Home Made World" and these as a commercial product just don't fit no matter how cool they are. 

But that's just my two cents...
