Apologies if this has already gotten old, but I just moved (yikes! I'm suddenly a
yuppie home-owner) and haven't been connected for a few days. Speaking for myself (I
use LW Intel and Amiga) this is a VERY BAD idea. Have you considered investigating
how this strategy has worked for Truespace? I have no idea, but I'm guessing that
all it has done is raise a few grand and at the same time lowered people's opinions
of TS as a capable 3D package.
