I've been away from TG for a long time, in fact, since shortly after TG2 came out. At that time and now, on a new high-end computer, the node window is useless because there are colors streaked over the tiny words so they can't be seen properly. I don't like working with nodes anyway and wonder if it isn't just as possible to work through the menus. I've been clicking that window off. I really loved the old TG - it was so intuitive - and like the idea of being able to import objects, etc., but this is not a friendly program any more.
