Thanks Nems, I'm sure it will. I'm already noticing a big difference in communities. Over at GG I've watched new people come in over the last few years and everyone is nice when they just post to say hello, but they get a little nasty the first time someone asks a "silly" question. Or they answer questions with a "Use the search" when the search over there doesn't even work most of the time.
As far as the software goes, I'm having a good time with it. Spent a little too much time playing with the Pong demo, but I couldn't let the computer beat me at it.

My biggest problem has always been (and still is) that I don't do graphics, so it's nice to see all the community donated stuff on the site. At least I can have some placeholder things while I'm working. Really nice of the members to make those things available.
If this package works out as well as it looks like it will, I still think I'll get the Pro version after while. It's a big price differential for the additional capabilities, but they're things I'd like to work with. I'll see you around here and over at that other place now and then...
