Announcement: 3DNA 1.1 Released
Friday, June 20, 2003 by Aqua. | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Many of you already know what 3DNA is 
For those who don't, 3DNA is an awesome 3D desktop replacement for Windows in first person game style.
For those who have used it before, 1.1 is an ever bigger advance over 1.0 than 1.0 was over 0.9. Most of the bugs have been eliminated, support for older versions of Windows has been increased, filesizes have been cut by a third, and performance has more than tripled.
I know many of you have had bad experiences with 3DNA in the past and reject it. Truth is, even I got to the point where I would only run it once every few weeks. However, this new release is different, it's fast, reliable, much more usable, useful, and quite pleasant to use for long periods of time. It's what 1.0 should have been.
You know how people are wise to wait for SP1 before buying a new version of Windows? This release is essentially SP1 for 3DNA, the program is now ready for the big time.
You'll find a lot of details about new features, etc. on the http://www.3dna.net 3DNA site and more on the news announcement that should be going up in a day or so.
I only have two words of caution about this release:
1) Don't use it and CompuServe at the same time.
2) Make sure your system meets the recommended requirements before installing.

Am a huge, huge fan of 3dna. Love the different environments, everything from Lofts, Villas, Chateaus to Outdoor and Basestation Space stuff. They have surely done their homework and have released a very stable version. What's really great is that the devs are so passionate about their program and it shows through on this release.
It's more that a toy, it's a true environment! Enjoy
