Nuked bug I think you hit the nail on the head - I want the power of Poser with a cleaner more intuitive interface. Poser should be worried after all. I agree also about the capacity of some to achieve great results with limited resources - wish I was one of them!! BTW PickersAngel the update special from earlier versions of Poser starts at only $99. According to the specs it won't run too well on my current computer otherwiae I'd probably do it. Saving for a new machine instead of spending money on software at this stage.
