Katherine, Please remember that there are many people at this website who actually like and use the various CuriousLabs products and who are glad to hear that the company is continuing to work at improving them and even marketing them to a wider audience. We might not be vociferous, but we are here. Growing and improving the basic software we all use is an advantage to everyone here, whether they admit it or not. "Poser Artist" might get more beginners and students interested in creating scenes full of figures. If so, it will bring more buyers into a Marketplace which has too many products and not enough purchasers. Some of them might turn pro themselves and continue the legacy of passing on learning and tools and products to the next crop of newbies. One of the tech companies probably offers a pair of asbestoes-lined kevlar gloves (what do firemen wear?), but they must be difficult to type in. I wish that I could offer a solution. Carolly
