FYI, Although we don't expect the transition from 3DS/DOS to 3DS/NT is going to be easy, there's a huge mitigating factor… 3DSr4 and all the IPAS routines that are out there now. As our new 50-minutes-of-killer-work Siggraph reel demonstrates, you can do 90% of the work that the SGI-based 'big boys' are doing on PC's with r4/IPAS, which allows our new NT 'baby' to mature while you've got a huge (and very familiar) safety net. Once you see the direction we're going in, I think you'll find it very exciting to have both the current (tried-and-true) 3D Studio and the new (100%-potential-to-be-realized-over-the-next-7-years) 3D Studio… BOTH, running together, in your facility. For those folks who enjoy change, this will be an exhilarating time. And for the folks who don't, they can stay on DOS for awhile, until their comfort factor comes up high enough. – G
