I do have Microsoft Windows 98 but I do not have a digital camera but I do
know of some family members that do have a digital camera so that is not as
large of a problem as you would have imagined, I just would have to travel
about ten or fifteen miles away from town in order to scan the pictures to
you and before that, I would have to pay around four dollars to have
Wal-Mart develop the pictures from my last series of LEGO creations.
The problem is, although hard to believe, is that I have never used a
digital camera before or a scanner. I am honestly telling the truth,
Geordan. This is not a lie from me, Geordan.
I have downloaded the programs that I need but they will not work in their
entirety for some reason. I do not know why they will not work but I have
tried to open the programs and they will not open for me and I am wondering
this, do I have an incompatiable system with these files or are the files
not working or am I simply out of computer space?
The ability to learn all of this LDraw and other programs may be second
nature to you but you must remember, I am new to this type of system and I
have never built any project out of CAD or any system ever in my life.
I HAVE, however, taken the liberty to use a normal (well, actually, a
disposeable) camera for my LEGO creation but if my mother will take me to
Wal-Mart when we have the money, I can develop my ideas to you but if they
resemble vehicles that were a hybrid of "Yellow Submarine," Mad Max, and The
Partridge Family, blame the measly collection that I have at my house.
I am not completely helpless or dumb but I am quite lacking in some of the
materials that I need for LDraw and other programs on my computer.
