I for one, congratulate Jack on maintaining the flame. One of my main gripes with plenty of software developers is their newly acquired "habit" of releasing buggy software and not TOTALLY fixing it. They make us buy the new version without making the previous one useable in all aspects.... and that surely doesn't guarantee the new version will be any better. why would anyone buy something that does not and will not work as advertised? That's just plain ridiculous and bordering on idiotic on the part of the purchaser. We should be able to buy sofyware, or any product, and expect it to work fully as advertised....if I want to use this particular version and not buy the new one, I should be able to do so with a fully working product....period... If all you lemmmings allow this to continue happening, which has now become pretty much status quo in the software industry, you'll be fighting this same battle over and over. But from what I've seen and read, most of you have already caved in and just EXPECT software to arrive full of bugs. You EXPECT it!!! And that is exactly what you'll get. You expect things to not be fully working, features missing.....oh, the company will fix them....but do they???? Not just to bash CL, as this pertains to many software developers, but since we're on the Poser list....why didn't CL fix the problems in Poser 4 that folks have been bitching and whining about for 2 years???? nuff said.
