Correction: Pixar is not his "other company." He is, from what I have heard, only a partner, as he only owns a quarter of the company (Pixar). Secondly, not to be pessimistic, but RenderMan is a VERY expensive piece of software, easily worth more than the cube itself, and everything that comes with it. So don't expect RenderMan soon (bundling software is a great idea, but bundling software worth more than a car (and a nice one at that) just seems to be to much of a give-away).
