Yeah... Couldn't you theoreticly use that with the lego mosaic?  Just take a
picture of a grey wall or something like that and send it in...  Coarse, you
would get plates.

As for this mythical software:
Hmmmm...  I wish we had more info then this year-old post.  Oh well.  I
think that the  'software' would only allow basic parts, more then the
current bulk bricks, but you couldn't say, make a 'model' of 50 star wars
cilenders, and then get them all shipped to your house.
