Newtek is -lucky- to have such a willing band of consumers -eager- to
follow them to the grave.  You all must have been Amiga owners, no?

Yeah... me too   ;)

Sorry, I just can't stir up -any- sympathy for a company that treats its
customer base as a cash farm, and then puts out bad product.

Also... I would have ended up an animator with or without Newtek$
meddling... you can't put ALL the blame for my career on them!
Seriously, give yourselves some credit.  LW may make 3D animating a
no-brainer, but it doesn't influence the -quality- of your animation
skills.  There are as many BAD LW animators as there are bad Alias
animators... and thanks to me, the number of both camps has increased by one!
