I've been using the Carrara demo with a view to seeing if I like it - unfortunately I DO like it but have just discovered that I can't afford ANYthing for at least this month, probably another 3 or 4, I'll have to save up.  So I think  (unless I win the lottery in the next few weeks) that ANY software purchase is out of the question for some time to come... (sob!)
