InfoCentral: Amapi although bundled with Carrara 4 is really a totally separate package that is completely developed independently from Carrara. It even has it's own professional version not bundled with anything else. So siting PAGZone criticism of it's stability and trying to link it to Carrara is not objective since one package is independent to the other. It's like criticizing Illustrators bugs and liking them to Photoshop. You are right however that no software is totally perfect, but we will not argue that some bugs are worse then others. What good is software that will crash and corrupt a file that renders hours of work worthless? There is software that is so bad that it's unusable. Amapi 5 for the Mac is such an example. Apple has such a small market share that efforts to fix bugs on dual platform packages, specially from small developers become almost an after thought. It is aggravating because OS X rocks in stability, performance and security. The funny part about this is that your bigger developer packages often run a lot smoother and better on the Mac then on there PC equivalents. I can site QuarkXpress, Adobe CS1 and 2, including all packages on the suite. We run all these pakedges at work, PC and Mac side by side so I do have a day to day experience that hands down favors the Mac.
