mbin.. i am too.. since she's been so patient with all of my computer shenanigans.. think i might give the wife first crack at it though.  she's been dying to do some big, involved scenes and every time she tries.. on her computer she gets like 2 or 3/k s/s.. gets frustrated at only having a hundred passes or so after a full day and just goes on to something more simple.  she's got a ton of saved scenes that i'd like to see fully rendered.  so now, instead of it taking weeks to render them.. it'll only take a few hours.
