I downloaded some of the demos, and yes, they are very nice, but... of
course they are nothing you couldn't do with other things as well. So the
question for me is *how* that thing works (sorry, I'm still on a 56k connect
so I won't bother with the 20MB movie download). There's nothing better than
some real "hands on" experience (unfortunately I couldn't visit any of your
demos over here, would've liked to say hi and see those things...), so, will
there be a demo version?

Ah well... I hope this won't start another platform war (I have been through
too much of them), but now that PCs have become pretty much stable if you
configure them properly (but then, even the "Joe Average" PC doesn't seem to
be as bad anymore), there's no other choice if you want raw processing
power. Macs simply can't compete with the power that, say, a 2100+ XP
delivers. Sure, there's rumours about newer and faster Macs, but from what I
know they are quite delayed... and hm, I wouldn't expect them to be exactly
cheap, over here you should be getting 2-3 top notch PCs for the price of
one new Mac (unless it's a Big Mac... HAHAHA, what a great joke... uhm).
