JKJ: >> I had to write my own 3d graphics software in assembler AFTER I designed and built graphics interface hardware.<< I was getting ready to hear you tell me about walking 5 miles to school in the snow 🙂 But you are right, this is all a perspective thing. Thanks for the interesting background. I am afraid I am much more interested in the final product than the bits and bytes that go into it, but I still appreciate an elegant program. It is just that except for here on forum, it seems like a lot of 3d users have even less equipment than I do, and I was hoping we all wouldn't be neglected in the migration…things like raising the migration price from $495 to $995 if we don't migrate before shipping started to make me think there would be price penalties for being small potatoes. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer in a new context! Also, it would be nice to have IPAS development software shipped free with 3DSr5 similar to the plans for 3DS Max, not because I would program, but because it would increase the number of useful IPAS's out there. I think Gary already has reassured me sufficiently. Lydell
