Finally, it's here. I must say the overall package is pretty good, you get a very nice CD case for holding the Mirage and additonal CD's, and the animation book is excellent also. Unlike the demo download from the Bauhaus site, you get a very nice selection of extra tutorials on the CD, additionally you actually get a paper manual, all 355+ pages of it. This is truely excellent, and just goes to show the quality when you spend a little more getting a professional software system. The July special includes "The Animators Workbook, by Tony White" all nicely signed with a nice statement inside, and having flicked through it, it's definately worth the money ( that is, the $200 discount and the book being free with the mirage package ).

When they first said about the dog-tag on the key I thought they were simply describing a plastic piece with the code, but no, it's actually a dog tag attached to the USB dongle.

Now it's running with the key, and the final unlock code will come from Bauhaus soon to allow me to use it on any PC when I wish.
