The BW03 AEI actually was release to both guest at the conference and the
GENERAL PUBLIC at LEGOLAND during the weekend. So it became the 1st OFFICAL

Ack! I have had that BW03 disk in my possession for months. And as you say, the
installer is right there on the disk. Looks like there’s 3.5 MB of train models
besides. AND a host of tutorials also. All told there’s approx. 418 MB of stuff
there. Very nice.
Y’all should be selling this kind of disk via Ldraw. Even if you can’t host the
installer online, something like this might help the Org’s financial side of
things. And maybe I’m just missing it, but shouldn’t there be a paypal link (or
some such thing) somewhere on the Org front page for accepting contributions?
I’m sure there’s all kinds of stuff to do, but this kind of thing should get put
on the fast track. I’m pretty excited at this kind of ease of installation.
Not that it’s SO hard to install LDraw otherwise, but this just makes it SO
much easier. Really, it’s what’s always been needed. It’s the perfect product
to offset some of LDraw.org’s costs of maintenance.
BTW, is it on the disk for the “Virtual LEGO” book? Is that book for private
gain, or does it also help LDraw.org? Given some of the names involved, is there
even a difference?

| (...) All, Let me give you a brief history of the ALL ENCOMPASSING installer (AEI) that we have and what some of the issues about why it is NOT on ldraw.org (YET!). In late 200 (*I think*) I took over the LDraw.org help desk from Tim. At the time I (...) (21 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
