John: Yeah, I'm happy with 3DS on a DOS machine. I'm using a 486DX2-66 at home,
and I can **always** use a faster machine. I'm thinking about networking my 386
and 486 together instead of getting a faster machine.
I've used a couple of SGI machines, but never with a real animation package,
mostly with RenderMan and some visualization software like Fast. We had
problems with the genlock boards on both of the machines that we've done
animations on, and you end up spending a whole lot to get to the point that I'm
at right now with my 486 and 3DS. (A version of 3DS on our 4 processor 4D/340
**would** be neat)
I used to do a lot of coding and I enjoyed it. I don't do as much anymore, but
I like to have a machine that I can program without too much additional
difficulty.
