In spite of the bugs and the little annoyances, Poser is still so much fun and creative, you'd love it. It's my poison of choice, so to speak. There are so many things you can do with it, and with the new characters Zygote has created this year (Vicki and Michael), it's come even further. They're so versatile, you can create almost any character with them. It's still well worth the cost. Melanie
