I don’t have *computer* problems, all our computers work fine for all the other
things I and the rest of my family want to do. I have a *software* problem with
LDD, in that it has unreasonable system requirements, in my view.

I would argue it’s the system requirements that LDD expects. We buy new machines
every 2-3 years, it’s what we choose to do, and it’s not reasonable to expect
people to have the very latest and greatest every 6 months.
As a software architect, one of my mottos is “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.
Why tear out a perfectly good piece of software or hardware that is meeting
business requirements just to replace it with something spiffier? My clients
can’t stand that sort of advice. Sometimes this annoys the salespeople trying to
sell (our) new software but I think doing the right thing for the client is more
important in the long run.
I think LDD is a great thing, but I think the requirements for it were
improperly spec’ed. LEGO seems to have a habit of this, we’ve seen it in other
software as well.
Er, sorry, off soapbox.
