It may be just me, but I seem to recall horror stories about Kupa and the rest of the programming staff who worked on Poser 5 having to work without salaries for the last weeks of the project, because "the money had run out" -- whatever that means. (Presumably that contributed to the release of a product that was hardly "ready for prime time.") Now these same self-sacrificing, hard-working people have been shown the door. Personally, I would not feel comfortable supporting a company who treated staff this way. It's very ugly and very shabby in my book. I am very glad I did not buy Poser 5. Kimberly
