Yes,... this is becoming a problem for MAC users. Most of the 3D applications and plugins are developped either only for PC or "will be available" on MAC OS X in a "near futur"...

But the only one to blame here is Apple. Steve Jobs and his team have spend the last 3 years only focused on design and propaganda instead of improving the system itself. They have attracted new customers - especially "home users" - but they are loosing the professional market. I really don't understand their marketing strategy. the 1GHz dual G4 processor is slower than a single 1.8 GHz Pentium 4 chip, yet it's 3 x more expensive... Who will buy it ?

People are always blaming and insulting Micro$soft. But PCs are getting more stable, more powerful and cheaper. Where is the problem ? If I can get a lightning fast PC workstation for a few bucks, Bill Gates can spy me as much as he wants. I'll even send I'm pictures of me...

Sorry Apple, but it's time for real change... otherwise in less than 3 years MACs will be dead and buried.
