Thanks!! I put you on my list (buahahaha!!). BTW - thsoe emails about a
month ago just *died*. I never took the time to revive them, but I will
sometime before BricksWest.

Honestly, I forgot if you did offer or not. But thanks for reminding me!!
I added your name to a new 'master list' of volunteers - so I can keep track
of these people :-)
Understood about learning yourself. I think I'll go through and make topics
I'd like to see (that would help both me and others) for people to do. And,
I could put some time into thinking up more basic topics as well.

I haven't used LDAO in years, actually. I just manage my files in Windows
Explorer and use MLCad and LeoCAD for my drawings (depending on what I want
to do, I have different editor preferences).
It would be good to have a tutorial for the people who want to use LDAO, but
its not safe to assume 'most' use it. One of the things I plan to do in the
near future is a survey for LDraw users where I'll get a lot of this data.
Perahaps I'll give the survey at BricksWest?

I've used the VEC before, and I've used it in the past to launch projects.
Things like the Minifig Modeler use the original LDraw to render though -
that makes it a bit clunky in Windows 2000. So, I prefer LeoCAD's Minifig
Generator.

Cool, thanks :-) And if you need help figuring it out, don't hesitate to
drop me a line.
