Pawel, I am a PowerMac user and also LOVE the fact that A:M opens so fast. Yes it took a little while to find the interface quirks that conflict with the Mac. Most Mac programs do not depend upon the path to the file, they internally refer to the "file number", thus allowing the user to move the file and rename the file at will, A:M doesn't allow either. It also has a problem with file names that have spaces in them, you just can't do it. The skin thing is a little wierd, BUT it allows you to do it with objects that were NOT created with the cross section tool, UNLIKE Strata and, from what users have told me, 3DS. In strata, you can band an object ONLY if it was created with the cross section tool, AND to bend it you have to first unskin it. I much prefer A:Ms method! And the ASCII file format is great, it will hopefully allow third parties to add to it.:) Gotta Go! Jim Jonah
