My understanding about Poser 5 was that Curious Labs was going to take the time to finally get it right. That meant doing the program from scratch, rather than trying to fix someone else's mistakes or fixes. That meant totally rewriting the manual to make it worth something. Instead we have Poser 5 with agressive copy protection that was suddenly dropped with no real explanation. (Was the copy protection causing instability in Poser 5?). We got Poser 5 which may finally be "right" several months after the program was released in the PC version. We get a printed manual that is no better than the Poser 4 manual. I prefer printed manuals to Adobe Acrobat manuals. I like to sit the book down on the desk, read and do something. I can't read a manual on screen and use the program at the same time.
