Having been around here (and other places) for a number of years now, I do understand. Steve has been one of those people that has given and given to the 3D world and I, for one, don't have one complaint at all. Yes, I've bought all 3 CDs, but if this has to be subscription (and I understand why), then so be it. I use it all the time--and, truthfully, wondered how it was totally free. The only thing that IS a surprise is that this appeared sometime after I went to bed and before I booted up this morning--it amazes me how much can happen in such a short time--whew!!! Whatever happens, Steve, et.al,--you have my support. Diane
