If you're the first to read this message and are seriously interested, post a reply and I shall get intouch with you and send you Joe's email address so you may contact him personaly. Basically If you've ever wanted to purchase a full legal copy of Max R3.1 or Maya 2 and could not because they're expensive, keep reading because you may not believe. I got a hold of this graduating senior at Texas A&M on ebay, he was auctioning Max R3.1 Full legal copy for $150? weekend only auction? Shady you say and not true. It's as true as apple pie folks, I gave it a shot and I received Max R3.1 Full with 20 plug-ins + 2 trainning Cd's for $155 + $5 shipping and handling. This senior Is selling these software to make back some money since he is graduating, these software where purchase from the university of Texas A&M and have full commercial lisence. He is selling Maya 2 (4CD's) trainning CD's included in that for $245 + shipping and handling. Now about Max R3.1, he has a fellow classmate that wishes to get rid of his copy also. I do not know how much Joe's classmate is selling his for, but It may be less than $200. Do not know about you guys but that's definately better than $3,000. Let me know and I will send you his email address Love, Peace, and Chicken Grease And to who ever gets there's hands on the deal, you may thank Clint for informing me to post this message, because I had to give the main man first dibs but he had to pass on it.
