Any program is going to be slow on a 486. You need a new computer :) YOu
can probably get something better than the 486 for little more than $100.
Or go search for a Pentium 1 in someone's trash....Don't take this the wrong
way--I used a 486 with Win 3.1 for email (and LEdit, but not much else)
through 1999.

All of the freeware LEGO related programs out there are under the 3 MB
mark...definitely downloadable over 28.8. Just gotta let it sit for a while
and do something else in the meantime.

The parts library is 10 MB...not really huge.
I would like a mouse interface like Autocad or the

MLCAD fits that description, but it's rather slow on a 486 or Pentium 1.
Just shooting down all your excuses to get some new cool CAD-heads :)
