		Re: LDraw and the Track Designer (Was: Next show)
Yep, that was EXACTLY what I was thinking of. The convertor should create the needed views (all the rotations), and if it can handle the scaling too, so much the better. Just scaling bitmaps down in an image editor gives weird artifacts if you're (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.dev)

I'm not getting into editor wars with you. :-) My syntax was XEDIT. If you've ever written an Xedit macro in exec2 instead of REXX, you're old. Communication was did. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

If you need to move money to or from Australia, New Zealand, the UK, or Germany (and I hope the NL soon, Hi Jasper) drop me a line. I may be able to help you. I have (...)

		Re: TLG investigation
(...) I will. If you can point me to a scheme that is legal, and guaranteed to return 250 an hour for a capital investment of only 25,000 I am THERE. Only takes 100 hours to double your money at that rate. Lots of arbitrageurs make a nice living on (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

		Re: TLG investigation
I'm not sure what your comment about taxes has to do with my comment about arbitrage. If I can get 1% an hour consistently, I will declare the income and pay the taxes. Gladly. (...) (26 years ago, 16-Feb-99, to lugnet.general)

		Re: LDraw and the Track Designer (Was: Next show)
(...) But rotations in 22.5 degree increments would be better, of course, and 11.25 might even be best, as we are then at the resolution of a curve segment, no? Since that requires rather complex calculations, it's more natural to have a rendering (...) (26 years ago, 17-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.dev)

		Re: Paying in foreign currency
Hi Simon, posted to market.buy-sell-trade too. There are a number of methods that I know of, depending on how much trading you plan to do: Send US currency: For small one off trades, this is not bad. A bit high risk but does usually work. You should (...) (26 years ago, 17-Feb-99, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

I would not be mad, or upset or disappointed if I could all of a sudden buy more of them for closer to the original MSRP. I'd just (...) (26 years ago, 17-Feb-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

But it's not externally measurable, and we don't have a need to do any sorting, I (...) (26 years ago, 17-Feb-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
