Note that while quite useful and fun, these lectures are based
on the first edition of SICP.

Actually, they dropped 6.001/SICP and much if not most of
the material it teaches.... :-(

Also check out the Open Courseware versions of 6.001; this
is the most recent and there is an earlier archived one
linked off of it:

Includes lots of useful stuff such as a pointer to the On-Line

and have them automagicly checked.
