Katherine has been very helpful with order information and problems, and extremely polite. Curious Labs is now owned by a new parent company and deserves a honest look at their product when they finally release details and test results. I too, am excited about P6. From the little we've heard, it looks to be a great improvement over P5. P5 is a great improvement over P4 - now. However, until we see more, and know the return policy, I think it's foolish to pre-order a product that we don't know is finished coding or testing from the same people who sold us P5. I'd be a lot less leary if there was no Pre-Release sale. CL did the last one to show that they had guarenteed income in order to help their financial situation. I keep remembering the excitement we all felt with the P5 pre-release, and the months dragging into years of problems, public beta tests, and unfulfilled commitements. I remember the price cut less than a month after the initial release. The public airing of CL's finances and corportate shake up. I'm getting sense of deja vue that really worries me. Most of my income is Poser based. I'm afraid one more P5 debacle could kill the product completely. If the product is this close to shipping, then CL should be releasing a lot more informaton. A few screen shots, a couple of postworked images, and few descriptions of improvements aren't enough to risk a dime on something that is still vaporwear. Right now CL should be trying to re-earn the trust we had in the company before P5, instead they've launched a marketing campaign with d*mn little details.
