Don't catch my on my every word, please, I'm not a native speaker so
expressing some subtle feelings and so are rather hard for me ;-)
I just think of studded beams/holed plates as a 'compatibility layer'
between System and Technic. My old 744 set shows how great could be the
System brick with some Technic elements and some of the new Designer
sets look nice too, but I don't have them.

But it was just the Technic sets in 2003 which don't have any studded
parts. Not to mention there was only 1 Technic model in 2002 (BMW).

I'm against Technic sets which contain _ONLY_ such parts and not the
traditional Technic bricks.

That is several years, and such parts are great. Even the studless beams
are great. But the sets containing only them...

No, it was not for sale here and it's not in catalog either. Same
applies to Mindstorms, UCS etc. [Retail price for Mindstorms in shops
which did import on their own is 350 USD].

I still have to find out the way how to write them, as my country is not
getting the support. Should I use that 'My Opinion' button on their web?

Nooo, I like Backhoe. But there are no studs in there ;-)))))))))))
Darth Vader standing next to it has no studs either, but that doesn't
bother me at all (as Racers/Bionicle etc.)
