I say use the situation to your advantage and make it sound rebellious:
- Unauthorized Secrets of RCX Programming
- The Unofficial, Unauthorized Guide to LEGO® MINDSTORMS™
- The Black Book of RCX Voodoo (okay, this one is a little over the top)
- Everything LEGO® Doesn't Want You To Know About LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ (a bit too
long)
Hehehe...

Ooo, I can't resist this.. love your last one, Todd. It would have the
Energizer
Bunny on the cover, right?.. oh no, then there'd be trouble with another
company.
ok, how 'bout
- "These ARE the 'droids You're Looking For."
- Programming the Poor-man's HAL 9000 for Dummies
- Automate Your Life for Under $200
- Learn to Build a Time Machine in 24 Hours
- Beyond NEXUS 6
- I Think, Therefore iToy: the Grownups' Guide to Making Friends
- Toy Programming for the Rest of Us (20, 30, 40, and 50 - somethings)
- PLAY: a 12 step program
Uhp, looks like there could be trouble again with book publishers, or Apple, or
some movie makers.. just can't win.
-Suz.

... and we definitely need an appendix (or second tome, rather):
Lawyer's EGOtiasis *) :
A treatise on etiology, epidemiology, symptomology, dia- and prognosis of an
infectious social disease.
(...to which you shouldn't apply acronymization!!! ;-)
