I got my commodore 64 when I was a senior in hish school in 1984 ('m 37 now) and was one of the few students to have their own computer in college. man was I ever ticked that I had to book time on the school's mainframe for my programming classes. Mainframes were a thing of the past I said, but did they listen to me? nooo. I got my first 20MHz PC from a small start up company called "Gateway" I heard that because of my endorsement they have since grown a bit. Actually I got it because of my hobbies in art and graphics (I decided against the amiga, Unfortunally since I did not endorse them they floundered a bit. I hear that the internet thing also did pretty well ever since I gave Al Gore the idea.) I got poser 1 as a, get this, a referance for sketching. Man talk about a product changing in scope! Since then Ive had every version of poser - even (sigh) poser 5. I think Poser 3 was the most drastic and a "must have" upgrade. Poser 4 was "well, OK, it nice." and poser 5 was "mommie make the bad program stop!" (granted the patches have helped a LOT)
