"will it have the same benefits or be able to convert our Mike 2 textures to the new Mike 3 that will be coming or is it to early to say." From what I understand Sharen, Mike 3 and V3 share the same UVs. I don't know if that will change, but they can share textures between the two already. If the UTC can convert Mike 2 textures for V3, it will have M3 built in already :o) Laurie
