Maths (like the truth) supposedly doesn't deceive... but I (almost) can't believe the contrast I've just observed! Frankly the net has taught me that $400 is more like 300. The news that Curious Labs will be better standardizing the Euro and Sterling equivalent to the US Dollar based on conversion rates is very welcome news indeed. I'm in the UK, and I'm sick of software companies being allowed to charge extortionate amounts compared to the dollar equivalent. Theory of Surplus Value, brother? It should not be allowed!!!! I thought I'd never be able to afford Poser6... but if happiness has a value then Poser5 remains the best investment I have ever made. I too will now be waiting on tenterhooks for any further news about upgrades.
