At Comdex/ Windows World. I was cruising the 3d programs. Kinda looking for a spline/patch modeler. Found one tucked away in a little corner booth. Talked to one guy. Program looked good. Lost his attention. Grabbed another. Asked about cost. It was more than I wanted to spend and a little to close to my upgrade to R4 cost. I told him what I was looking for and why and that I was using 3DS-R1 and was happy and would be upgrading when the money came together. That is, I told him how to sell me his product. Instead of following my generous lead, this guy tried to unsell me 3DS. I told him "Don't try to unsell me 3DS. I am commited to that and am looking for…." He interjects, "Why? It's just a flying logo generator. Here, I'll show you…" As he turned to show me, I turned to go. As I walked away, I regreted not laughing out loud at him. Heck, saved me some bucks. That much closer to R4. – gruhn
