I am a Mac AND IBM user as well, and I would like for you to point out a program for the mac that runs half as well as 3-D studio on an IBM...and renders as fast. Or how about AutoCAD R.12??? The only version of autocad that exists out there for the Mac is a 68K version and we all know that 680x0 machines are going the way of the IIe. And being the proud owner of AutoCAD R.12 for Mac and IBM I would rather use the IBM version any day! StrataStudioPro Blitz is a great program, but it can't render nearly as fast as 3-D Studio. And if the question of price comes up...You truly get what you pay for. The way I look at it...we all need a calculator some times...the same way that we need an IBM. Ya know, for the tedius stuff;)
