Bob, Yes…I guess I was still annoyed at the response I got from some of the vendors…I feel as long as I use 3DS I will be on the outside looking in…It is like 3DS and then everyone else. 3DS is getting pretty close in feature and functionality but the main issue I raise was the fact that 3DS is really to much for DOS to handle…it needs to move to the next plain which IMHO is a workstation running NT3.5 or OS2 or *NIX the way I see it is thus…If I buy a multiple Pentium box running NT or OS2 SMP 3DS will not take advantage of the OS…I just feel that 3DS *needs* to move on and get out of DOS. Not to sound to elitist but whomever is using 3DS to do production animations, images etc. would move to a workstation…BTW the only reason I am not using a SGI is do to the fact that the apps are 3-4 times the cost of the box…given an SGI Indy XZ 15K, memory 2K and then the fun the apps are 8-15K ala carte? A indigo2 with extreme is 35K and then apps well you get the point. Whereas 3DS is moderately priced…DOS boxes are (pentium) 3-4K, geez for now the only box to run 3DS is Intel…so much for buyinh a PowerPC (-: jeff
