We have some ancients here. ;)  My 'mentor' who taught me programming (on a C64) used to have the 10" floppy disk and talked about not dropping the stack of punch cards - shudders.  I guess we can all be glad that we didn't have to start on vacuum tubes with plugin cables to program...

And there is one reason why you will be upgrading to Vista (or its successor) at some stage - you will no longer be able to run newer software that will be written solely 64-bit.  Glad you like C4D R6 (chuckle), but that's sort of like sticking by that old Ford-T while on the highway with minimum speed limite of 55 mph.  R7 was a big jump, R8 is about three big jumps, R9 is about ten or more big jumps, R10 is about thirty jumps ahead of R6.  To list the features and improvements that you are missing would require a book.  I don't jump on every new thing, but if someone offers me a pneumatic nailer to replace a wooden hammer, guess which one I'ma pickin'. ;)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
