I have too agree
there is alot of hesitancy in the MAC community
to upgrade to OSX
but the harsh reality is that you
cant expect all the powerful features you demand
in your favorite Software apps and expect them
to be eternally backwards compatible with
obsolete operating systems.
Bryce is a 3D application
to be truly efficient, modern day
3D applications need a true stable protected memory
environment with true multiasking.
does win98 offer that kind of environment??
MAYA would have NEVER come to the MAC
under OS9 and its predecessers.
and newtek basicly has stated that you need OSX to really
properly utilize Lightwave 3D.
I loved my Sony hi-fi betamax VCR back in 1983
but i had to accept that content providers
no longer supported my "platform".
and moved on the VHS and now DVD
and how much longer do you think you will be able
to get the latest and best home video releases on VHS????
if you dont want to upgrade to Win2K Pro/XP from 98
then Dont.
but Dont expect software makers to NOT take advantage of
newer modern operating systems that will enhance the functionality of their products.
