Ah... don't sweat it, Kevin. It wasn't really specifically your typoing. Reflex snarl, you know how that goes. grin Chalk it up to late nights on both our parts: I saw the comment and figured the "let's lynch the CL/P5 bashers - get the ropes" parade was starting. Actually, I have seen you make a few non-CL fanboy type comments, which I'd have remembered given a bit more reflection. "How many of the constant bad-mouthers actually owned a copy of the program? " Quite a few Kev, Quite a few. ;] jjsemp? The "little guys" in this are the customers. That's who I get an urge to stand up for when it comes down to it - not the company reaching for their wallets. The people who've been complaining about Poser 5 not working and getting and app that's not useable on their machines - regardless of if it works on yours or anyone elses - are CuriousLabs customers. And Renderosity customers. If you don't think that they have a right to critique a company, and the owners of it, who charged them $149 to $349 of their hard earned bucks for the dubious privelege of beta testing a post release software package... then you live in a very sad little world that I'm happy to not be a part of. shrug I'm not going to kick Cooper and Weinberg while they're down. That would be churlish. It's enough that they're down... and that maybe, just maybe, the program might be headed to someone who'll actually turn it into an app worth buying. But CL got what it did to itself over the course of three years - we didn't do it to them. We'll see. I'm dubious, but it might happen. Or it might not. As the man said in Silverado: "Hide and watch".
