"and we Forward thinking MAC OSX users will have DAZ studio when it arrives." Sheesh! Is that a baited comment, or what? (OS war fodder) So.. whatever, dude. For most software, 'forward thinking' is pretty much a way of life, isn't it? As in, "Is there going to be a Mac version?" Or, "when is the Mac version coming out?" Or,... yadda, yadda...Have fun feeling superior, dude, while most people are actually USING the software you're only hoping or waiting for. (snicker!)" Uhhhh.... relax Norbert By forward thinking i mean those of us Within the MAC community have have embraced the future and Left the outdated inefficient OS9 behind and moved on to the modern protected memory workflow of OSX Just Like the forward thinking PC users who have embraced win2k pro and XP we have not buried our heads in the sand and deluded ourselves into thinking that we can run Mac OS 8.6-9.2 or Win 95 for the rest of our lives and get upset that there will be no high end 3D software support for old outdated underpowered OS systems. as far as "hoping and waiting for 3D software we have Lightwave,MAYA C4DXl and will have Daz studio :-)

Hey, CyberStretch and I agree (that P5 isn't dead); that's a first! I am also glad that so many people took time to post acknowledgements that there are real people at the end of each keyboard. Making reckless and unsupported attacks on others says more about those that make them than they do about the supposed targets. And at the risk of derailing things, I like "Dirty Laundry," and it may be true in some cases, but Henley was caught contributing to the delinquency of a minor (a matter of public concern, I would argue) and thus I always found his attempt to portray himself as the victim of the media a bit distasteful.

i feel for those like Kupa who have lost there jobs, but a comment here for SAXON, re the war will be over in a few days, i guess Korean and vietnam wars were short and sweet and minimal deaths, and Afganistan was a huge quick sucess. saxon, no one wins in war.

"no one wins in war"... Except the oppressed people that are released from under the thumb of heartless, murderous dictators.

Hey Saxon, Didja hear about the optimist who fell off the Empire State Building? As he passed each floor, people could hear him screaming, "SO FAR SO GOOD! SO FAR SO GOOD!" [Please forgive me if I offended anyone with that joke. I learned it years ago, back when the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world. I do not at all think 9/11 was funny. I do, however, think that the joke desribes some optimists very well.]

Thanks for the reassurance, Ratteler, I was afraid someone would get offended and send a nekkid Vicky after me. She wouldn't need a sword. All she'd have to do is walk in the front door, give me a big kiss, and my wife would kill me .

That's an even better dream than Poser 7 (complimented by Daz Studio 3) on a dual 5Ghz G5-chip powered Mac with over 6 Gigs of RAM! [I never said I wasn't sick. I just said I don't feel bad.]

I agree Norbert & the sooner GWB is gone the better.

LOL c1rcle, good point - regime change begins at home.
