Re: LYNX Central Station in Orlando FL

The computer and software are simply tools. If you still do all your design
and engineering by hand and manage to make a living of it, my hat's off to
you. Most of us see the value of automating some of the work.

TekCAD 2 Pro simply includes integrated software to do finite element based
structural analysis during the design process. It only makes it easier for
architects to do the work, it does not do the work for them. Any serious
architect (ie. one who works for a living) knows that good design and
profitability are both important - it is a business - and *that* is honest,
dignified work.

If you've got robots who can do creative architectural design, Richard, by
all means market them. You'll make a bundle, I'm sure. I'm personally glad
that the architect still matters.
