Heh, um... you're gonna have to get over that one... ;)
Seriously though, I was in the same place about 5 years ago (when I came out
of my dark ages). Only yesterday did I complete my transition when I
decided that I'm going to destroy all but my oldest sets (anything classic
space is staying together in its original stock design). Sure, destroying
stock lego sets is one thing, but MOC's are another... Well, for that, we
have MLCad. For the person with limited brick, this is your new best
friend. You can build with virtual bricks on the computer and "back up" all
your creations to its .dat files. If you ever want to rebuild them, just
fire up MLCad, load the file, and you can reconstruct it piece for piece.
MLCad has many other great uses as well. You can build things in colors you
don't own, the pictures come out perfect, always, etc... But the ability to
back up moc's to the computer is one of it's best traits. It will free you
to destroy every MOC you have after building it in .dat form, allowing you
to use your full arsenal of parts for every model. A drawback is that it's
time consuming to enter a model (about 30 seconds per part, and that's
assuming you're good with the program and your model isn't that complex).
