I don't really mind what the models are, as long as they include lots of "standard" technic pieces.

In the year 2002, Lego will offer custom order sets. In theory, this would allow one to recreate, say, BT1. Or, redo Lego sets that are considered to need work. I, for one look forward to it. (25 years ago, 26-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2002, lugnet.space, lugnet.general)

Yeah, I think you've misunderstood just a bit. I personally think it's a great idea. Why? Well, to be honest I wouldn't use it myself, but I don't think it'll replace the new sets.

It isn't/won't. TLC will always design sets - heck, the have the SW license through 2007! The new software will be a supplement product, like Mosaic.
