downloading blender 2.71

woot woot! Are you just starting out? If so, me too!

oh I see, on the other plurk I just asked you about blender; I'm not so comfortly plurky jet, therefore I saw this reply afterwards.
I used 2.49 for a long time, now I am into newer version(s),

and I miss the old, the new interface is confusing, maybe it is better for people that newer expirienced blender before... but I must get used to it and adapt.
I wish you good luck and stable nerves.
