I think its kind of part of this grand 'brain washing' technology trend that is going on in general.

I think I had a 333 computer for about 8 years that ran intellicad and autocad LT just fine. Granted, Dynascape makes things look a bit nicer, but in all honesty, nothing is different with the program than the old 10 year old programs.

To be honest, I can actually render a drawing much faster using my old Autocad.

When it comes to the basics, nothing has changed with these drafting programs. You don't need 1/1000 of the power that computers now have to run a drafting program. It's all the bells and whistle junk that screws everything up and demands all the power.

Yet, with all this new and improved crap, my dynascapes still gets locked up when I'm drawing a long spline, set the hatching pattern to high, importing a scan for basemap layout (ya, old programs did that years ago too), etc. etc..... .....no different than my 59.99, 15 year old intellicad did.

Pretty much like the truck industry.....they are more concerned about putting dual cup holders in the truck rather than making a truck that won't fall apart in 3 years.
