It seems many posters missed the part about running in MAC OS X.
I don't have any insite on the MAC except, a program called VectorWorks has been in my sites for a good drafting tool on the MAC.
As far as any other insites, I've used AutoCAD (which stinks for 3D work), I've Used Microstation from Bentley (which has lots of features i like) I've used 3D Studio MAX, (I don't like, it's too constraining) I've fall'n in love with Rhino3D. So if you have no objections to working with a PC I strongly, Highly, even if you have to borrow a PC, recommend visiting http://www.rhino3d.com/ and getting a Demo.
My company just bought another copy, and we avoid spending money on software when ever possible.
I like having an extra harddrive in my systems, and just run nightly backups to the hard drive. guess you could do this more often, say every 1 hour...
In my work this is very useful, I to remember the convenience of FILER, SALVAGE. But Windows Servers don't offer a way to save deletes from a network share, and any third party apps seem to cause the blue screen of death. So I'll stick with an extra hard drive. I use Linux, but find it too cumbersome to use daily for simple file sharing, and Print serving. I'll be using at home until I have more time to spend with my server at work, which may be a long time to come....:(
