You can grab them using a index ListName[2] for example.

A quick dirty explaination is generic list are like templates.

The class List<T> will replace all occurences of T(which is a place holder) with Point3d in your example.

If you want to see the benefits research collections in the System.Collections like ArrayList and see how their methods use objects in thier parameters and must use boxing and unboxing.
