Back Don,
Here is a free download for TS version 3.2 - By downloading this free full version of 3.2 you become a subscriber, that's how I was able to afford version 4.3 which is what I use now. I plan on earning "winning" version 6 sometime in the future :)
Anyway, here is the link - http://forms.caligari.com/forms/ts3all_free.html <http://forms.caligari.com/forms/ts3all_free.html>
Don't know if it will help you or not.

To be honest, I had tS since ver 4.3 and had one heck of a time with the GUI. I wasn't really able to model very well (still can't, actually) until I took a modelling class at my local community college two years ago where they used MAX. I still prefer the traditional drop- down menus of Windows that MAX uses, but I was able to make more sense of basic modelling skills and transfer them to TS thanks to hands-on instruction.
I would suggest getting ALL of the "paks" that you can afford. If you do a lot of work with stills and post processing layers in PhotoShop or PaintShopPro, iPak is very valuable. I know you said that you didn't do much animation, but for general non-IK animation, iPak and After Effects can do amazing things in half the time it would normally take. They don't even mention this use for it at the Caligari site. Also, primalitch.com has tons of stuff for TS, some very inexpensive and some FREE. The stuff from CK Game Factory that they sell there are all useful and VERY reasonably priced. ShaderLab2 is a DEFINITE MUST HAVE! Also check out virtualcaledonia.
