I've posted a few queries in the online forums and though I've received plenty of useful replies from friendly and enthusiastic members, they were all PC users and consequently less well informed on Mac questions. Mac users seem to be in the minority in 3D so a forum aimed specifically at mac users would help target those most qualified to help. lease don't think I'm knocking those who replied to my posts, they really were a great help and I'll be asking a lot more stupid questions in the future I can promise you!
