Although I agree with you, Danava, there is the selling point (if ever needed) of the box. Many people, on eBay for instance, would think thrice before purchasing a written CD claiming to contain a valid piece of software. Show them a box and a manufactured CD, no problems. This is, of course, irrational, but sometimes also prudent. There is also the point that, for the SE version, this is a 1.1GB download between Poser6 and ShadeLE. Unless you have better than a 56K modem, that is many hours or days even to download - with uncertaintly of completion. If it weren't for the fact that I have a home business and thus a T1 for serving, my best phone connection would be a noisy 14KB/s - we're talking more than a day, probably three or four to get it completely.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
