This is very likely a solid piece of hardware without any supported software whatsoever. I used to swear by Creative Sound Cards in my PC days. fantastic hardware, but the installs were buggy. Meh, the features that didn't work I don't care abo…

More CAD programs would certainly help. I would say a big thing would be a full-featured version of MS Office, including programmability. I have iWork at home, but I don't really have much personal need and it always suffices. My wife uses it…
