I never tried the lego designer, but it looked fun. Is it worth the install? IOW... is it worth "wasting" my time with? ;)

Sorry guys I seem to sleep when your all getting up lol, Lego Creator is the only way to waste time lol. With flight gear its is light on resources but remember it is a game so don't expect to be able to run large apps at the same time. JR
