Hello again all - I purchased the windows version yesterday - with a 'promise' from Lee at nemetschek that if I want to change platforms, he'll do it without any additional licencing fee. (Thanks, alanmac, for the heads up on that topic.) I will no doubt be adding questions to the rest of this board as I attempt to dive into this thing and learn it. Wish me luck! And thank you all again.

Wow! My manners are horrid! I just logged on for the first time since posting my RFI - I was expecting an email alert if anyone replied, and thought no one had done so. Thank you all so much for your comments. As of yesterday, I had decided to bite the bullet and tackle that G5 2 or 2.5 GHz machine, although I'm quaking at the sticker. Having read your various posts, however, I'm finding my commitment wavering. Speed does matter to me, and I do plan on working in 3D. Who really wants to spend 3K if it's not absolutely necc.? (Course, I'd get one of those really pretty screens, too. +1.5K+++) I'll post my final decision when I've made it. Thank you all again.

Greetings all: I'd appreciate any input from users who've worked with this program on windows. I'm debating whether I should completely abandon my PC universe and switch to the infinitly superior mac system prior to beginning with VectorWorks. (I'm always looking for an excuse!) Learning curve issues? (Learning a new OS as well as a new CAD program), or alternately, relearning on a new platform should I ultimately decide to change later. General input would be helpful. Thanks!
