Mike, PMFJI – I read Jeff's thoughts on Imagine and have to agree. I bought Imagine 1.0 a few years ago and upgraded to 2.0 when it came out. I struggled to learn it with the help of The Imagine Companion and Understanding Imagine 2.0 – I need not tell you why I had to buy these books to learn the program. IMHO, the program is simply too difficult to use – and the lack of docs made things impossible. I bought a VT4000 about a month ago and have had the same experience with Jeff. I was create renderings almost right away without cracking the manual. The program, again IMHO, is extraordinarily straightforward. For me to spend almost $3000.00 (Canadian) on a VT4000 as opposed to $100 (American) for the Imagine upgrade tells you what my impression is of the usefulness of the Lightwave as compared to Imagine. For the reasons I've just stated, plus a few others, I've decided to go with Lightwave. I hope you take this in the spirit in which it is intended, a customer of yours outlining why he has gone with a comptetitor's product trying to tell you why. Rick – On Autopilot from Vancouver
