Maybe in v6 or 7 they will at least make a way to send single frame animations to other computers, even if it's an external network render manager. But that is a long shot. I know the feeling. I have three desktops (one Mac) and a laptop, but don't even use them for animation rendering in Cinema 4D because the logistics can be complex - esp. going from Windows to Mac and a slow computer like my laptop can actually degrade render performance across the farm (plus, the other Windows box is a dedicated server which really excludes it from the farm). I find that a day or two to render a 30 second animation on a dual cpu is acceptable. :)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
