Oh, I didn't buy 3DS. I did plan my computer system with animation in mind. I reviewed 3DS etc. I have 2 copies of Animator, 2 of Ani Pro, and 1 of 3DS. (From two separate magazine reviews). I had six weeks to review all the packages in my feature (8 I think). What I am trying to do is become familiar with 3DS so that I can review 3DS r3 with a more informed (and demanding) point of view. There is a big difference between reviewing from a disinterested journalist standpoint and reviewing as a regular user of that technology. I have a requirement for creating presentations on a regular basis. And AV has long been a sideline for me. I want to be able to get in, use the sucker and get out. ALi
