Hi- this is Katherine from Curious Labs. We'd hoped to email our news letter today but are waiting on text from Germany about the German Poser 5 release to be included. The news letter should be sent tomorrow but we'd like to give you a quick update now. It's not yet a technical update, but hopefully something the community would be interested in knowing.

All Curious Labs products including Poser 4, are available by download. This new option is especially convenient for customers who have found their Poser need immediate due to project timelines. The files are fairly robust which should be understood before arranging the download. I've included the stats in this post.

We'll keep you updated with details such as this (and especially in regards to technical information) as often as available.

Kind regards, Katherine

Yes katherine! THIS is what we want. Whether the info is useful or not (in this case, to me, not, since I already have poser 4 and 5). But anyway, a voice, a presence, a friendly note, hand on the tiller, feeling of being wanted.... LOL. you know what I mean. Someone who tells us WTF is going on! Thanks, and keep up the good work. mac

This is excellent. I buy a lot of my SW over the web these days, no boxes. This suits me fine. :] Fish

BTW: is this the rarely seen Don?

You mean in the image in the post above yours, holding the Poser 5 box? Yes, it is. BYS

Thanks so much for keeping us updated Katherine :) ladynimue
