Well, my personal experience at DAZ has been nothing but excellent. If you want enormous delays and spectacular screwups, try SBC/Yahoo! As far as DAZ studio, it's a work in developement with tons of problems. DAZ should not be trying to sell product strictly for use with D/S until it works right. DAZ forum, like many others, I find awkward. I like "Rosity" and maybe that's what I'm used to. As for DA, don't know 'em, don't care. But back to DAZ, I think they're a great bunch and generous to a fault. My $.02
