I couldn't resist poking them a bit. I have a feeling they are struggling to figure out what course to take....but it is maddening and frankly, I think they should give Poser 5 only users a special price break if we want Poser 4! :) I have a 1.7 ghz with 512 mb of ram and XP Pro and still can't use the hair room with any degree of speed....and I am way to impatient to sit and watch it "loading objects....loading textures....renderning....rendering....."!!:) For the normal stuff, the speed is about the same as Bryce 4, but hair room.....forget it! I doubt we will see an "open source" Poser any time soon :)
