I had to mention my thoughts.... That is a problem with such a Demo.
Whet an appetite for what ? If the stuff doesn't exihibit what it really
can do, how can one play with it enough to conclude you even want it ?
In my opinion, it gets darn hard deciding if you want a software or not
in 30 days even if ALL the stuff works thruout the demo. Much of that is
because with a family and demanding day jobs, who finds the time ? Half
the demo's I install run out before I can get a good tryout with them.
And these days, I'm much more critical of jarring loose the kind of cash
cad/cam companies demand.

If I was to send out a Cad/Cam software demo, I would make it work like
Rhino's demo..... 25 saves and then its toast. That way you can spend a
lot of time feeling around and not saving while you just learn to draw a
line ( tell me I'm not the only one who spent time in a new proggy and
couldn't even draw a trustworthy line after a half hour ) I was able to
come to a much better conclusion with Rhinos 25 saves than anything else
I demo'd.

Sure hope we hear from Greg on those great Cad/Cam cheapie-freebies !
