<< What kind of name is MAX anyways?>> Hmm… being that "MAX" is usually short for "MAXimum", it leaves a problem for what to call the next release. If this is the maximum 3DS, what's beyond that? POSTmax? ULTRAmax? TANSCENDmax? 🙂 You have to admit, "3D Studio MAX 2.0" has a funny ring to it. MAX should imply the transition release, but not become a permenent part of future names… -jk
