(...) Neat idea. I did put some soccer balls on the plate, but only so the dodgems had something to knock around. But having them inside the cars is a good idea, one that I'll have to try out. Thanks Tim. (17 years ago, 7-Apr-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Chris, (...) I believe quite a few people have managed to get LDD running under WINE. Since the code was most likely designed from the ground up to work on PCs and Macs it might be emulatable than older versions. --snip-- Tim (17 years ago, 7-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd)
