lol  Sproat, consider this:  Would it be less satisfying to play with Lego in the
Holodeck than in real life?  Is there something to actually possessing the material

do ldraw and so I don't have that perspective, but for me, they are mutually
exclusive, because I only have so much time to devote to one or the other.
