Actually, that's a debatable conclusion.  Not that I want this to go to
.debate.

TLC definitely has the *resources* to put into such a project.  So it's not
impossible that they could come up with a better LEGO CAD.

But I'm not sure that it's 'possible', from a practical perspective.  There
are some things corporations just aren't capable of, and this may be one of
them.  More on this in a minute.

Even if it is *possible*, I'd say it's very, very unlikely.  First, we're
still outside of their target market.  And outside of their core business.
Also, TLC just turned in record losses.  That makes it less likely that
they'll develop our "dream LEGO CAD" software -- unless they perceive a
*very* short, direct path between their action and future profits.

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you suppose that they are using now to create
their instructions?  Do they not have some system in place which they are
already using?
