Alan, I guess I need to realign my "idealism", nothing is perfect I guess……… I have had no problems to date ( five years) with viruses, I have made the mistake of using "stacked" drives in the past, I do not use them, I leared that lesson the hard way and I do not recomend them to clients unless they intend to run what I call "plain vanilla" systems and applications. As for software "dongle-busters" I could write a book on those (perhaps someday I will ) but I have found, over all, that Adesk software is above average in that regard, that is why I was so supprised. Regarding "dealers", I too have seen the "notes" on that subject, again I guess I need to re adjust my expectations and ideals. To update you on the hardware lock problem, I did spend 2.5 hours late last night following my reading the responces, I turned the printer on prior to initializing 3ds, and low and behold, no occurences, do we have a fix ?, I'll say a relieved yes when I get thru my next major project with out the hitch, it does look good. Thanks again…….. Dan
