I have gotten nothing but ERROR links and "were bogged down..too slow come back again"

Like they couldn't anticipate the amount of bandwidth for a free program like Maya???

Please....

Not funny --- it's sensible.

Translation: "We want everyone to learn our software, and so take over the industry! Mwa ha ha ha ha!"

I think it's a really cool thing to do.

Not only good for them, but us aswell. This way we can know most of the industry standard packages for free. Flexibility in tools is definitely a bonus to employers.
