David,
This is nice and all but I have a simmilar yet diffrent problem. I am 16, a
High School Junior. I have been using Lightwave at a Broadcast Arts School here for
children (Cinekyd). I have wanted to get lightwave on my PC for years. I have been
saving for a WHILE even before LW was anounced for the pc, I figured it would happen
eventualy. I don't make very much money, I do mostly Tech service work for people, On
site stuff & a little bit of networking. I am not saying students deserve special
treatment but if NewTek is going to have a student discount (I think this is a
good thing) for University Students through there book stores, I think that is unfair
to us younger animators. I want to get LW 5.0 as soon as it's out, If there is a
student price, It should be extended to all students weither they be in pre-school,
high school, or at a university. Well I have said my part and will awate your anwser.
I want Lightwave for my self as soon as I can afford it. Hopefully that will be
before I graduate from High school. Having LW at home and later at College would be a
