Hello all, I just heard about A:M through a friend and am looking into the product. I've been using Maya for the past three years and enjoy it but I really like some of the features I see in A:M. I just had a couple of questions. 1. Are the models provided with the software free to use in shorts and or demo reels? 2. I've read that A:M is rather "buggy" and crashes often. Is this true in the newer releases? 3. If I purchaes A:M 2007 how long can I use it without upgrading? ex. I've had Maya 6 for three years and still use it daily, is A:M the same? thanks
