All this speculation because DAZ said they wanted to meet up with Kozaburo and Quarker? Call me nieve, but I find that it is wisest not to speculate until I know both sides of the story (which I don't! LOL). And Migal, I agree ... "what would you do if you were DAZ"? Remember, not long ago, everyone was complaining that Poser 5 was buggy as heck and predicting that Poser would die. DAZ developed DAZ Studio partly as a solution to keep their company alive. Now CL has announced their merger and development of Poser 6. I think these developments, coming from BOTH companies, are sound business decisions.
