When if the freestuff area server ever crashed they don't have to worry cause you have every freestuff item on your drive still in the zip files and you can simply restore the whole thing yourself. You still have you copy of poser 1 cause you might need it someday. When you worry more about making some super professional "external" app like Max work with poser than making poser work with your $2K copy of max. When you refuse to delete all those old P3 figures, textures and poses cause you just might need them someday. When 1 gig of ram is too small for your 15 vicky 3 character scene. When you look at every other 3d app's compatibility chart to see if it imports poser files and you don't buy the package if it won't.
