This is a fun thread! :) I am 40, and got my first computer back in '82. A brand new VIC-20. (With a 16k memory expansion card! What power!!) Ran the history gauntlet of all the pc's, including the Columbia CP/M machine that ran a BBS for many years. I discovered Poser 2 back when I did Tech support for Photoshop (V.3) and some of the others in the area were playing with it and Bryce. I have been hooked on both since then. That has to have been 6 or 7 years ago. I now teach people how to use them in class. (OK, Photoshop officially in class, but I let them play on my laptop to get them hooked on 3D design as well) Good to meet you all. Rich
