I think that such a CD is not worth any amount of money. First of all, Renderosity-Freestuff fills far more than one CD. You could probably fill 3 or 4 DVDs with all the freestuff available. Second, the internet offers a lot of highly effective search-functions and google will give you a lot of results if you enter a search-query for "p4-woman clothing freestuff or freebie". What I would consider paying for, is a CD or DVD-Collection, with a graphical interface that shows me how certain items on the CD look like, and automatically install those items if I like and need them - as well as automatically de-installing them if they are no longer necessary. Another feature should be the correcting of folder-use. A lot of freestuff-designers deem it unnecessary to use the Poser-directory-system, instead putting their geometry in the root folder or into the character-folder, adding textures here and a lot of unnecessary stuff there. In the end, after installing a hundred or so freestuff-items, you get at least 200 to 300 new folders into your Poser-directory and one hell of a mess. Add an auto-install and auto-de-install as well as correcting this mess and I would consider paying for such a service. (As well as allowing you to redistribute my stuff in this fashion.) A simple search-function or database is not enough to be worth anything. Joerg Weber
