It could work out either way, it might be the best thing that ever happened to poser, or poser might disappear overnight. I am no fan of the way jap business works, if there is no low end competition for their product, the low end of their product line disappears quickly. I may cases, they may release a debugged version, which will also disappear quickly after the initial release. MUch depends on the contract of the buyout, conditions stated in it, and of course, we will never know what they were. The only thing we can be sure of, more bucks.
