Well, I too made the major mistake of buying a localized version of a programm - Poser. It is one of the worst mistakes I ever made. If it was only the patches and updates that were late, it would be not that much of a problem, but the fact that only americans and canadians are offered a "special introduction price" is really annoying me. Considering the high Dollar rate at the moment, 200$ for the package equal about 440,- german Marks. At that pricetag, PPP doesn't really become a desireable update. Next I konw better than to buy a localized version of any programm... Lanover
