In the UK, We now have 'competition' running rampant in essential services such as utilities and former council housing. Very high price increases are becoming the norm. But just about every letter which informs of such increases concludes by adding that if the user is unhappy, then heshe is of course free to go 'elsewhere'. The foundations were crafted with language alone, but only now is the true agenda of privatisation visible for all to see. Poser 6 is unquestionably great software. It came at an undeniably great price. However, I'm surprised that the flagship figures require so much money to be spent if their potential is to be realised. I'm hoping that this isn't the begining of a disturbing trend, where maybe Poser 7 will come free with exclusive Paradise Club membership (or something like that).
