I'm so old I can't remember when I got my first computer or started using Poser, but here's what I can dredge up from this old brain (I'll be 54 on March 29). My first exposure to a real computer was when my sister got a PC, oh, probably around 10 years ago. I finally bought a PC at Radio Shack, with 130MB hard drive and I think about 25MB of memory, but I could be wrong. That was after going through a couple little non-PC gizmos: a TSR 80 that used the TV as a monitor and a regular old tape recorder to save onto cassettes. Then I got a word processor by Smith Corona, but it didn't do anything but word processing. Had to get the PC. How did I ever fit any programs on that 130MB hard drive? Got Poser 2 at EggHead Software on a bargain table. Someone had bought it and returned it, stating it was too complex for what they wanted (imagine that!). I got it for about 5% discount because it had been a return item, then found out that I could have gotten it cheaper at CompUSA for about $25 less. That was about maybe 5 or 6 years ago. I've had every upgrade since except P5. I still refuse to get that, but not because I'm too old to learn it. I'm just too stubborn to put out the money for it becuase of all the glitches. Discovered the on-line forums probably 4 or 5 years ago when I found Poser Form Online (PFO) and I've been through every "war" that was waged between all these forums since, ending up here at Renderosity. My Poser life in a nutshell! LOL Melanie
