Dave, you seem like a good bloke, even though I don't know you very well, I have read some of your posts. But before you hit the road, consider a few things... This is an internet forum, not real life. Oh, sure it reflects some of the things in real life, such as the different personalities who choose to post here and the various business/personal/whatever issues that are discussed. BUT it's still emphatically not real life. If there are problems with some company's software or another company's attitude to yet another company, who really gives a damn? Unless you have a financial stake in any of these organizations, or you're employed by any of 'em, why worry? After all, none of it is preventing you from doing what you want to do, which is creating 3D graphics and associated bits and pieces. If company A is tearing company B an new one, let 'em get on with it. And if they're co-operating, that's equally none of your (or my) concern. Take the P5 debacle, just as an example... What good does it do for anyone here to speculate on the whys and wherefores of who is talking to whom and about what? After all, your software won't suddenly vapourise if DAZ and CL don't get together. Whatever happens, you still have your skills, your expertise and your software. So, if and when it gets you down, switch the damn machine off and take a walk outside.
