Hell, let's pick at everyone :) -------------------------- Best: DAZ|Studio. Yep, it's buggy, prone to crashing on a moment's notice, and tends to come up with some really weird problems, but:

1. it's free, and
2. it has some serious potential if DAZ is willing to put some work into it, and
3. I can make it run on a PC w/o Windows.

Also best: Migal's Stephanie Max morph and joint package. Also free, but did a damned fine job of breathing new life into the original Aiko (took a bit of jockeying w/ MorphManager to get that to happen...) Also Best Too: CL finally got their sh!t together with a service pack that makes it run fairly decently (at least on a Mac.) This time last year still saw a whole lot of people wondering WTF they bought into w/ P5... Gotta give 'em props for getting their code working halfway decently. Middling: Aiko 3. Glad to see that she's evolved n' all, but $99 for a basic morph package? Ugh... that's gonna cost. Also Middling: The GIRL. Sorry, but that one flamed out awful quick, and while it is nice, it tends to be tough to morph past the basic look. Worst: Just bein' honest here, so don't nobody get all wanky about it... - HER. Sixus, you're a damned fine modeller, don't get me wrong, but ye gawds... that face is enough to scare the charge out of a battery.

• DAZ|Studio. (yes, I know it's up there too...) 3Delight needs replaced, badly.
• Lack of Mac compatibility for 3rd-party utilities. Yup - I can run most of 'em in Linux, believe it or not. However, FTP gets old even with both boxes next to each other, and it would be much nicer to run 'em right there in OSX.
• I'll have to give it some serious thought before annotating a full-on list. BTW... Best Ind. Merchant: Toss-up between As-Shanim and Wusamah. Call it a close tie for first place. Worst Ind. Merchant: ByteMe0k (a rip-off artist who is now thankfully gone, gone, gone.) /P
