And if you go to the Dell Computer Website, and in the product search box, type in "free lap top" you'll get a free lap top computer to run your free 3D-CAD software! BUT first 50,000 people have to say they want the free computer. That's how companies say in business. REALLY!

There is a press release and a review of the concept. the writer says
he spoke to the owner but keeps that secret.

The concept of X-CAD is to deliver 3d at about $999.00 per seat to
those who use AutoCAD-LT.

There is no discussion of maintenance fees of additional modules or
whatever.

As a marketing ploy, getting 100k seats out there means a LOT of talk
and a LOT of user group action.

By all means, get a fake Yahoo e-mail account and sign up.

If it is easy and works, then it may be nice to have.
