usually when someone one starts a post with 'new to poser...', 'get ready to blow your allowance...' follows. I've been using poser for a few years now, spent about $100 so far, most of that was Vickie3. Most of the rest hase been on monthly renewal for DAZ's Platinum Club. Easily doubled the phone bill DL'ing freebies. Freebies. FREEBIES!
