How bout that email from them this morning? Why not rub it in that it's out already? I got the following in my little inbox this morning: ""Curious Labs is happy to announce the release of Poser 6!

BTW.....I ordered the boxed version because unlike the rest of the world I live in a rural community where 28kbps is a really good day on a download. Kristta
