While I'm opening old wounds ...

Carolly's (typically) self-righteous comments deserve special attention:

"If you find that the Walk Designer is a crutch which slips in your grasp, why don't you throw the crutch away and rely instead upon your own talent and eye for movement?"

That's what I bought Poser for ... UH-DUH! Sorry we're not all blessed with being such a talented animator like you Carolly.

"As for the rest of your complaints? Some of us LIKE the interface. Most of us are tired of your bitching in any case."

Glad you speak for all of Renderosity. Especially love hearing those kind of comments from people who didn't even OWN the software. Nearly 100% of my observations were completely accurate, highlighting that Poser 5 was a rehash of Poser 4 with 3rd party apps untidily thrown on top. Which is now obvious to everyone, I'm sure even you.

Yet another laughable comment now that history has unfolded ... "The product has been out for 2 weeks. It may take a while to discover what shortcomings lie with the software and what lie with the users... just as it takes a while to discover the strengths of each."

The shortcomings fell entirely with the software.

Ahhhh, good ol' Time, the Great Vindicator.

PS> I loved the King's Quest series!! However, King's Quest 4 (and 5, Absence) absolutely SUCKED. Dang, I slipped and said that word again. ;P
