Wolf: Thanks for the headsup. Still eyeing Cinema, but can't justify it right now. Any idea what E-on's return policy is? Vue 4 is horribly slow for animation ... I hope PRO isn't worse ... can't imagine. Norn: Never bought it ... went right to WIN2K and never looked back. Spared myself on that one, eh? ;) Still have it on most of my machines. Not that XP is buggy, just seems slower.
