I never got the ME setup, think i stopped my collection after Vista.....think i used XP for ever though since it was the next step from the NT series, cause it combined the 98 edition and NT workstation into one system.....kept that box going for years, after that i built a linux box. Still have both setups in the back room of my house, not running though....

2k was nice, but at the time XP was out people were call it a rename of XP, cause of the programming. If you'd put XP and 2k side by side running it was the same, think they added a couple of things......XP was a lot more stabler cause of it programming base in my mind......and for what i was using it for...

i remember when i put Xp against 1.3 ghz processor and i stack it with RAM.....boy that thing flew, refresh rate was amazing......i could flip through IRC, Explorer and my graphic software like they weren't even there.......rendering in the graphic software was a breeze didn't have to wait at all......now and day.....eeek......at work i use a Win7Pro setup, still kind quirky in my mind....but stable as hell though....

I had a few Dell puters built around 06~07 and had XP Pro installed on all of them. So far I have to say it was the most stable version of Windows I used so far. I have Windors 10 on this puter and so far I find it more buggier. If it werent for today's compatibility issues with today'ss programs I would downgrade it to XP Pro.

I installed an older version of Maya (version 6.0) and it seemed to run fine. But since owning it I already had 2 updates simply crash it. Never had that problem with XP.

Yeah, but I don't like the new (Autoshop) interface. I started using Maya at version 3.5. I think version 5.0 was one of the best upgrades. I think it came out when the original Spiderman went into production. It was the first movie to use it and it had upgraded cloth and fluid effects.

if you liked that , look into Lightwave 3D, the company started in 1988, used to be a beta tester for them in the initial trials of Lightwave, now......you should see the accomplishments of what they have do with there interface and software.....very easy to use too....should take a look if you haven't already

I looked into all those programs back in the day and choose Maya. For landscaping I used Bryce 3D. I started using the 3D programs around 2002. Got allot of training videos for Maya too. I figured if it was good for 90% of Hollywood , I would give it a shot.

Bryce is really good software......i used to combine Lightwave, Photoshop and Bryce back in the day.........Photoshop was used for paints, Lightwave was used for 3d renders with the paints from photoshop and Bryce for the backgrounds....it made for a nice combination....made some pretty good stuff with that combo......course this day of age i have no time to play with any of it anymore.......

My early 2000 Dell with XP just died last year. I can't really justify a new desktop, but I miss the double monitor sometimes when I'm doing research and have a couple dozen tabs open.

I feel asleep at work once and almost fell onto a huge surface grinder table that had a 36" diameter by 3" wide wheel that was only running about an inch above the table. The guy working next to me said he saw me slowly lean forward and then tumble. o_O He came running but I woke up as I fell and was able to stop myself by grabbing the wheel guard. I shut her down and went home. I had been working double shifts, 7 days a week, for like a month and a half as we were trying to get ahead on production so we could move the shop. Those were some nice paychecks. :blsmoke:
