Used to subscribe to Toaster and Lightwave lists myself, but when NewTek first
released Lightwave for Windows they seemed to turn into little more than Amiga
bashing forums, and I gave up on them...where are the good T/F lists?

Yes...and I recall a time when 3.1 wouldn't work with the T/F, too...;^)
My T/F system works fine with 3.1, but using larger drives without fiddling
about with the file system would be nice...not that I'm terribly opposed to
such things...but if others are able to run with OS3.5, I may see about
becoming another statistic myself...I have a full image backup of 3.1...;^)
