Michael,
do follow Ralph's excellent advice! I took a look at MLCad and found it a
truly excellent piece of software. I just wish it were available for Macs
and Linux! I do not know if the Mac is recovering in Europe (I guess you
live in Austria, from your e-mail address), but the reversal in the USA
educational market is nothing short of amazing. My son's school (he is in
middle school) just reverted from a PC-only environment to i-Mac only or
almost. My department at Stanford has just completed a full installation of
i-Macs (for the grad students)+G4(for the faculty)+MacOs X server (to run
it all). Polishing MLCad and porting it to Macs and Linux would make the
life of many educators (and many a Lego fan ;-) ) much more fun.
just my 2 cents.
