[rescue] octane question

[Joshua Johnston]

When I heard about Maya Learning Edition coming out for Mac OSX, I was
quite pleased that my latest big purchase was a 500Mhz G3 iBook.  I was
also quite bummed that my latest big purchase wasn't the G4 667Mhz
PowerBook with the DVD-CDRW drive and the gigabit ethernet at nearly a
thousand dollars off the regular price.  But with my income, and it
being my first loan and all...

Dammit.  Now if I can only find a way to turn an iBook 500, a $1000 PC
laptop and a few dollars cash -into- a PowerBook...

let's see.  watermark, can't use plug-ins, special file format.  i may 
not be looking to use Maya to make myself any money, but i still find 
those to be a short list of things to severly limit the usefulness of 
the whole thing.  not that i won't download a copy if i don't already 
have one, but still.....
