If you had read my whole note, you would have seen that I'm not saying
TLC shouldn't have a CAD program (I think they should), what I'm saying
is that the data file should not be the input to the parts ordering,
that should just be a parts list.
On John Jensen's idea of making is a web-app - PLEASE NO! I don't want
to have to be near a phone line to be able to use the program. I don't
want to force parents to get DSL just so their kid can order custom sets
of bricks because they decided bandwidth is cheap (I see way to many web
sites which are designed by folks who only ever use the web from a high
speed connection and totally forget some people just don't have anything
faster than 28.8 [or even 14.4, that's what my mom has - of course she
got upset that I didn't buy her a cheap 28.8 modem card for her laptop
at the same time I bought one to replace the 14.4 which I had given her
- I think I got the 28.8 for $10 or $15 or so]).
