Windows ME sucks.

Thanks anyway, any other suggestions?

I can't save anything, I'm already $3,000 in debt, and getting deeper.

I'm stuck.

well xp now in OEM can cost you something like £40 so I would advice that mate - grab yourself the PLE and see if you like it first... but what ever you do - kill that Windows ME

for strictly modeling practice- this is supposedly a pretty solid learning tool with a free 40 day learning package, and it's pretty cheap (relatively speaking) if you want to buy it.
if you're just starting out, it might be a good learning tool.

good luck!

If your going to school for animation you can get maya complete for only about 600 bucks. You get a special student discount as long as you dont use maya for commercial use.
