Any other Lightwave users?

Hi,
I've been using Lightwave for about seven years now and was curious if many people were using it in the industry in Ireland? I've begun to switch over to MODO but with trying to learn CSS and Flash I'm finding it a bit difficult.
Great to see an Irish forum for 3D.
Cheers.

I started off using Solidworks originally while I was studying product design. The renderer was awful back then and I started using lightwave to get more photo realistic presentation images. I used it for a while and then moved to max because I was doing a course and thats what they were using. I always liked it though but have since moved onto Modo. The two guys that originally created Lightwave have since moved to Luxology who make modo.

I'm hoping to get stuck into Modo once I get a chance. The one good side of the recession though is a lot more time for training.
