- There are many people that aren't students that can't afford $3K either.
- Why should you as a student get a discount and not them. The answer is,
- you shouldn't.

- If you really wanted to learn animation, you would go to a school that
- teaches it. Merely having the software only teaches you how to operate
- the application, NOT how to be a good animator.

- Then you don't need to have 3D Studio and you aren't truely serious
- about animation. Therefore go buy Imagine for $90 or whatever it
- costs and tinker away. Just because you can't afford a product is
- no justification for it to be cheaper. Buy the one you can afford
- and make do till you can justify the greater expenditure. Thats the
- way it works in the real world.
