I was not as much disappointed as put off from posing. Curious Labs really didn't do themselves any favor by shortstaffing their mac programming efforts. They'd have had my personal money a year ago when I was all Poser-gung-ho, but now I've pretty much lost interest in Poser. My office bought my dept C4DXL 8.0 and Maya, and I'm on the fence now as to whether I will get Poser at all. I will probably wait for when/if we get a project in-house that would benefit from it and let my company lump it into dev costs. I got left behind for technical reasons. My G4/800 can boot into OS 9.2 and run poser 4, but I'm sooo an OS X user now and it just isn't practical to reboot my machine every time I want to switch apps or check my mail. Poser 4 also doesn't work right in classic mode, as most of you have notices (fails to launch more than once, painfully slow to render). P5 shipped for the PC the same month I traded by 8500 for a G4. I was wishfully thinking P5 for mac would be out by the time my computer was setup and running OS X nicely, and I was all saved up. But, it didn't come. By Christmas 2002 I had completely lost interest in doing any Poser work, and I went back to coding games and restoring antique sirens and fog horns (what I do when I'm away from work). -Adam
