lmckenzie: The GIMP started as a linux-only program -- it's only been compiled for Win32 and NT because it's open-source and was eventually inevitable. Star office is, if I'm not mistaken, derivative of WordStar which started as early as if not earlier than MS Word. That's not a comparison. Is Renderosity here to serve the interests of the merchants above those of the other members? Yes. Well, in a way anyway. Renderosity is a business and is here to make money. By hepling the merchants, Renderosity makes more money. I don't see what point there is to these arguments, really, though. Sorry. I was simply asking how much it's like JHoagland's excellent program, how it compares, and so on.
