I'm glad of this post. I went to B&N and got issue 63# I'm in Ohio. It came with a timed demo of PI 3.0. Man this is sweet! This sort of finishes of my set of cheap 3d tools. I'm going to reserve issue 64# on lunch hour today! (By the way, I installed the Demo and got right to work without tuts, book or whatever. Just load in movie, draw splines, and render. All too easy...)
