John, I've lived with a migraine for 4 years. The specialist in SF says that it will go away someday and that is the only hope that I cling to. I've got some medicine for the migraine now (which I'm only supposed to take 3 days a week), but nothing for the depression. So, yes, there are days when I'm less tolerant than others. I still try to be helpful or find a positive note. If I can act as a catalyst to help others be more productive, I've some something good for the day. People have accused me of pollyana-ness for protecting the makers of the programs, but as a developer, I know how hard it is to make something... and how impossible to please everybody. Will I be happy with Poser 6? I'm sure that there will be things that annoy me and things that I will miss... but also sure that there will be something really truly nifty and worthwhile and new at a price even a disabled artist can afford.
