Barnabius:
I'd hardly disagree with anything you mentioned there.
When you said "For quick utilities, standard GUI apps and 2D games that will run on almost anything it's a pretty good buy."
It espescially ticked a box for me and what I want to do. It's exactly what I'd concluded from researching it.
I am looking to make a standard GUI app and maybe a few of them. I'd like it if they would run on all the hardware I have here at present.
I'm just part of a differnet audience for the product range.
I got B3d and learned from buying it, that I might be a little more careful over the details before buying plus. I dont flat out regret buying b3d, but it's not made me any sort of evangelist for it either.
Anyway, events are overtaking us now as BRL have in fact recently upped the demo to 1.43 and that addresses some of the things I wanted some clarification on. Had I just gone ahead and installed the older one the it may have meant I could not then try this one for all I know. I still got no idea what restrictions there may be in place with it though. If it were time limited then it's possible that the mechanismm for that could prevent a further update if I was not quite ready to purchase. I've seen that happen with plenty of other software; where I didn't quite like the demo enough to buy, so offered feedback, uninstalled it, and then went back after allowing a version update or two to happen, tried and failed to install the new demo as it claimed it had expired, had no idea if they fixed up the bits I didn't like in the ealrier version due to that.
Authors almost always say that we should check with them for specific details before going ay further. Well, here I was! We all know how that went.
The Max gui for example simply volunteers how it gets over previous demo limits right there on it's part of the web page. Seems a much more realistic approach to it all frankly. I was just hoping for more of that really. <shrug>
Oh well.
