After reading all the posts here and elsewhere about the problems with 
version 9 and the fixes from Newtek, it reminds me of that old story about 
the guy who goes to a tailor for a suit. 

He comes back when it done for a fitting, puts on his brand new tailor made 
suit and immediately says,

"Oh No, It doesn't fit!". 

To which the tailor replys, 

"Sure it does, just twist a little to the right, good, now just lean a 
little left, good, now lift your right shoulder and squat, there. The suit 
fits perfectly"

Hmmm. To me Newtek seems to be on the right track.

I've been using Lightwave 9 for about a month and have never had any
crash or freeze; seems to be working great.

All the new 9.0 features add to my productivity and the functionality
of the program.

And Newtek continues to add useful new tools to the program and improve
the tools already there, such as adding more real-time interactivity.

Plus, the documention is better then ever. Over 1500 pages with details
on how to use every tool, and color images and examples.

And I think Lightwave has one of the nicest looking interfaces.

The trend seems to be that Newtek is continuing to evolve and develop
one of the best tools for creating 3D content.
