Hey John,
I just started using MLCAD on my PB 1400 (G3 upgraded) boy is it pokey, but it
works. It is a menu driven program so it is easy to figure out. I couldn't figure
out LDRAW within the first 60 seconds so I gave up on it. So far I have drawn 1
truck for my new engine. Sorry you had to go to the computing dark side, but
cutting LEGO.... I do not know if old Ben will be able to save you.
