Emily has an interesting observation. One person's fantasy is another's fetish or porn. "the typical user worked harder to understand the software..." Evolution. Poser had to grow or die, which means a different type of user, one who is less willing to tinker and accept shortcomings. One of the first "word processors" I used required you to type in formatting codes. Now we expect WYSIWYG. Without that influx of people though CL, Daz etc. wouldn't be able to keep improving their products. I don't know what the final PayPalized 'Rosity will look like. It may be only a minor bump as the optimists say or something else entirely. I've seen these upheavals come and go, but frankly, this "family friendly" thing seems like a sea change. In a way, that ties back into Poser's growing, more diverse user base. OTOH, I think it's a mistake to think that most of those new people want a kiddyland.
