I'd like to have a working copy of P5 that includes all the Service Packs. I didn't rush to buy Poser 5 "in advance." I couldn't afford it at the time. I've never had any of the major problems with Poser 5 that some have experienced. As for pricing: it's a fact of life that companies will offer special prices or incentives to their customers or potential customers in order to attract new business or keep their customers. The computer world is constantly changing. If I buy a hard drive today, I'll be able to find a larger hard drive in a few days, for the same price I'd already paid, or the same hard drive will be cheaper. That's just the way it goes. This Poser 6 thing is different. If we're looking merely at improvements on Poser 5, then it's likely not worth my money. If we're looking at "fixes" for Poser 5, then call it Poser 5.5, and give it to me for free. But give me the entire thing on one cd, so I don't need to do the CD shuffle to reinstall.
