I just tested Amazon.com's new "Search inside this book" feature (which

misinformation in the book "LEGO Software Power Tools, With LDraw, MLCad,

Todd,

Thanks for the corrections! I own and read a copy of this book and I understood
the details to be different from those published in the book. After reading the
book I assumed that information I had heard from "asking" around at conventions
was wrong and that the book was correct. I am glad you corrected these specific
instances of the book.

Maybe this points out something that you an Susan should spend a few minutes on.
Maybe you can create a page or two defining the history. Or perhaps you might be
willing to let someone in the community interview you and Susan and place the
"history" of LUGNET on the LUGNET web site for others to learn from.


Brief historical bios were posted on lego.com a few years ago. Suzanne repeated
the text of the postings here:

A web archive of the lego.com page (no longer posted on their site) is here:

http://web.archive.org/web/20020206185329/http://www.lego.com/press/facts.asp#5

Most of the details are sprinkled throughout the LUGNET forums, an encapsulated
history would be a nice read...  perhaps has a forward to the Plan:
