I got turned onto Poser after it was referred by someone on a graphics mailing list I was subbed to. She saw some of the stuff I posted that I'd done in POV-Ray & told me... "You gotta check this proggy out". With my usual impeccable timing I bought Poser 3 a week before version 4 came out but fortunately didn't get a chance to install it immediately & the store manager was very understanding & let me exchange it. :-)
