I couldn't disagree with you more Matthew. I'm 29, I'm an AFOL, my poor legos
sat in their box for years, unused. Then one day I got them out for my kids
and got the bug again but didn't have the pieces to build the things I wanted
and with two small kids I can think of better things to spend my money on than
buying Legos (though I would love to) and then I came upon LDraw. The answer
to my prayers. I could build whatever I wanted, I had all the pieces I could
ever need. I mostly build things that can be built but the fun for me is in
translating what I see in my head to the computer. Why waste time and money
with modeling clay when LDraw is all I need? I guess I'm just from a
different school of building than you, but I'll take my creations anyday, I
just like the way they look.

| (...) I certainly didn't mean to say that your stuff doesn't look cool. My point is, why bother with LDraw at all? Why not use a more sophisticated general-purpose modeling program? (26 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)
