If you have a reliable connection you can down load Vue and Mover for 168 dollars. That will get you started. I do know that feeling of not having the money for all the toys I want. I have a yard full of things that are waiting for me to spend money on them. Im trying my hardest to get out of credit card dept. I got 2000 dollars back from income tax and it went to paying off the credit card. My up grade to Infinite is on hold until next year. The big down side to Vue dEsprit is it will not import dynamic hair. It will for one frame but it will crash on an animation import. The pulse is; it will run on a slower computer. Dale
