nVidia cards have always worked well for me over the years. They are very responsive to updating drivers and keeping their cards reliable.

TIG, Thank you very, very much for your toolset. I just updated with the loft tool. All work flawlessly on my Mac. I really appreciate your skills, and efforts.

I installed the trial version (full/30 days) this morning. I've played with it a bit.
Consistent, professional interface; navigating around is simple, clear.
NURBS/organic modeling: responsive, quick, and soooo easy.
Seems to have many useful options.
For my needs, I wish SU was headed in this direction. In fact, a good deal of Bonzai closely resembles SU.
I'm going to continue to experiment; let you know what happens.

Hi Gaieus,
Thanks for adding me to the woodworking user group. I'm learning my way around the forums. This is great, hope to contribute.

I'm a 59 year old Industrial Designer. I've divided my career into two areas: Cabinetmaking/Custom Furniture; and Graphic Design/Illustration. I've been using SU Pro on my Imac for about a year. I will contribute to the community, in any ways I can. i'll keep you posted on my Mac/SU issues; and will offer any furniture .skp's I create.

I do want to thank, most sincerely, all of the very talented folks who create wonderful Rubys. Your skills and generosity are to be commended. This community has a terrific 'tone' to it.

One last thing (from some one approaching 'geezer' status): Make sure you push yourself away from your desk occasionally. Play with your kid(s), walk the dog, read a book... you get it. It's important.
