Maya was created with Macs in mind, I thought. This link is to the Personal
Learning Edition of Maya, and it's Mac only.

I think Macs use RISC (Reduced Input) processors, and that's what makes them
a good rendering platform. PCs use CISC (Complex Input) processors. I
think I spelled those right.

I can get a GeForce4 MX 440 for $135. It should outperform the top of the
line GeForce2 model. Go to mySimon.com and search for GeForce4 MX 440 and
you can get a listing of the places online that offer the cheapest prices.

You can't do it. There are no consumer parts for laptops out on the market.
All the companies use proprietary parts or parts specialized for laptops
that are not openly available. At any rate, buying miniaturized components
will likely cost much more than just buying the same model from a dealer.

If it gets too out of hand though, AWC must close these newsgroups, simply
because of the legal implications of allowing them to continue. So watch

Perfectly, legal, but they still do it without your knowledge, which if I'm
mistaken is something a lot of folks around here don't particularly like
(referencing 7 accusations against AWC).
In fact, I don't like it. Who said they could get something for free that I
bought or am paying for? Absolutely not. I'll stick with WinMX. No way

What kind of liberationist weed have you been smoking? If it ain't broke,
don't fix it. Most frivilous lawsuits are thrown out by the judge. You
shouldn't limit someone's freedom to bring a lawsuit to court. If it's
truly frivolous, most likely it'll get thrown out.
IMO, this is why the US is the most popular country in the world. People
can do almost anything they darn well please. Downside or not, the system
works and works well. Name me 10 countries in the world who haven't drafted
an entirely new constitution in the last 200 years. >:)
