...DAZ is making Studio to promote and profit DAZ! Well they sure aren't doing it to give themselves a bad name and lose money. This is news? But as discussed above if CL hadn't bungled things there may have been no need for DAZ to feel Studio was necessary though it would still be a good idea. I am not a seer so would not try to forecast the future. But if Poser does manage to do well I don't see why DAZ would completely abandon a market that they so clearly dominate. That would hardly be good business. Now if the customer base definitively moves to Studio that would be another story. Companies have succeeded in suporting more than one product in the past. Why should this be different? And yes, I think that DAZ does try to put happy faces on everyone. Happy people make much better customers than angry ones and business with a smile can be so much more enjoyable than one without. - Jack
