A more serious analysis would conclude that TLC could do something better themselves, but as of yet we don't know their exact intentions with this software they are developing for 2002. If TLC intends to make their software for the sole purpose of being used with their product, then they should somehow encourage LCAD to grow - it will grow their market, it (hopefully) will be compatible with their product, and from it more people will become serious FOLs. If TLC intends to fully replace what we have done so far with LCAD, they should take into consideration our _every_ wish for a serious LEGO CAD program. It would be in their best interest to have satisfied customers in all areas - brand loyalty, fostering community growth, and even potentially their sales. I feel that either route, TLC will be supporting LCAD in one way or another. I hope that LCAD does not die out because of TLC's developments, but if they choose to replace it, I feel strongly that what they design should embody what we have always wanted in a LEGO CAD program. Oh, and I _know_ they're listening :-) All we have to do now is wait. -- Tim Courtney - tim@zacktron.com http://www.ldraw.org - Centralized LDraw Resources http://www.zacktron.com - Zacktron Alliance ICQ: 23951114 - AIM: TimCourtne

(...) 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 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.cad)
