Joel,

$400 is SUPER FREE OF CHARGE for such amazing soft...........

I can't hear about all those rants that we want free upgrades,
it's expensive, I am poor student etc etc etc etc etc...

I am sick of it.............

for my first Softimage 3.8 I had to took LOAN (I was student then)
to pay something like $16.000 for 4 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and it was in Slovakia, compare economy to US or UK and
cost of animation here is fraction of cost over there...............

and now somebody is trying to tell me that $400 is TOO MUCH ?
not long ago I had to upgare for another 4.000 euros...............

so even now price for essentials is super low comapre to what
I had to pay........ and it were hard years to pay all bills + loan...

end of rant because I am sick of people who wants EVERYTHING
FOR FREE...

Marek

I'd pay about $250, but I won't be paying $400.  I mean, I'm still
waiting for the bugs in 4.2 to be fixed.  Now I know it'll cost me
another copy of Foundation (by the time I can afford it) to see a whole
host of new ones.  I don't know about you, but that doesn't exactly make
me want to *jump* at the chance of buying into XSI again.  Call me a
whiner if you like, but that's how I see it.

By saying this, I realise I'm retaining my status as the most hated
person on this list :)
