Shonner: I don't hate Bill Gates, I just think that his company puts out extremely mediocre tools and utilizes it's monopolistic position to illegally crush competition. D.O.J. case and what is going on with the EU should be enough proof of my statement. Being a monopoly is not illegal, but using that unique position to force deals is.

Nicolas86: This is one of the myths surrounding the Mac OS platform, configure a PC box from Dell to comparably challenge a top of the G5 today, and you end spending more money at times. We custom built a PC for our office, this thing has all the bells and whistles that you could get at that time, it was extremely close to the price of a G5 so this price thing no longer holds true, unless you go with the very bottom of the barrel configurations, PC and Mac are very competitive on price now and days. Yes the PC platform dose warrant you the flexibility of building your own box, but considering that Apple uses top quality components, to be totally fair you would have to configure the PC in the same fashion, this would render you PC very close to the price of a comparable Mac. In the end it's just a tool, but half the fun is how you get there. Now for professional 3D work the Widows platform dose hold the edge, you guys have more advanced 3D specific cards, no argument there. Also, I will never claim that a PC can not produce good quality work, the work is not done by the computer, but by the user and I have seen your Gallery and I think you are pretty talented.

InfoCentral: You can call me crazy, but at least I am not the one hanging out on the Carrara/RayDram forum pushing other software titles only to get the reaction of it's users. There is a word to describe you, a yea, Troll. You also think this is some kind of competition since you talk about loosing, who is to decide who wins an argument or who loses. As far as I understand it this is only a platform to exchange ideas and help each other out, not a debate competition. You seem to get offended by others calling you names then you use offensive language that is simply uncalled for. Ringo dose have a point, what are you doing here? Just look at your first post on this thread, "I doubt if you would be able to get half of what you paid for it. Contact Hash and tell them you would gladly trade your copy of Carrara for a copy of Animation Master." Don't you think a simple e-bay would have sufficed. The guy is simply asking about what we think he could sell his copy of Carrara and where he could sell it. He never mention getting advice about other software titles. Besides if you know all these software titles like you claim, shouldn't you be busy animating the next Pixar film instead of monitoring (Trolling), the Rederosity Carrara forum. If you think Carrara is such a mediocre crummy tool then don't use it, but please stop antagonizing its users with your worthless posts. I had been polite until you insinuated that I am crazy, and you know what I probably am, but at least I recognize it, what your excuse.
