The only problem with this for me is that I'm along for the ride because of
the LDraw program and not necessarily for LEGO. I know they are pretty closly
related now, but that may not be completely true in the future. James program
is amazing and I'm totally amazed at the work he was able to do in such a
short amount of time. Who knows where he may have led it if he had more time.

Hmm, can't find fault with that. I started this party, but I just realised I
had no idea it would expand into discussing other construction systems ( I
have to admit I didn't even know about the existance of a majority of them ).
What I was interested in was the possiblity of improving LEGOs where TLG had
not thought to do so. Live and learn.......
