Well that pretty much convinced me. And the Timing could not be better for me. Sudden windfalls and all. Maya 2009, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS4 are going to be mine to command soon...

now I'm just praying that Plug-in work with Maya 2009 Complete as well...

thanks for the awesome informative video. You can count on me stopping by your site and grabbing the DVDs...
